Its character
A different way of building an Australian shares fund: instead of holding companies in proportion to their sharemarket price, it weights them by underlying business measures — the idea being to lean away from shares that have become expensive. Financials, materials and energy still dominate, with BHP a large single holding.
What to keep in mind
Still all-Australian and concentrated in finance and resources, so it rises and falls with the local market. Its fundamental-weighting method means it can behave differently from a standard market-cap fund at times.
Income
As an all-Australian fund, its distributions can carry franking credits from the franked dividends its companies pay.
How this fund relates to others
Holds the same ~200 large ASX companies as A200, IOZ and STW, but weights them by business size rather than market value — so the holdings overlap heavily even where the proportions differ.
