Benefits & Risks

Type of Risk Brief Description


Asset Class Risk: The asset class that a Fund invests in may fall in value, which can result in a reduction of your
investment. Below are the specific risks for each asset class.
• Australian Shares There are a number of factors that can cause the value of underlying shares held by the Fund,
including among others, changes to the Australian economy (as affected by social and political
factors), changes to an issuing company’s financial conditions, changes to the overall level of the
share market.
• International Shares In addition to the above, international shares can be affected by among others, international
social and political factors, exposure to movements in currency exchange rates.
• Property Investments in the property market provide exposure to risk, whereby returns are dependent on
capital growth and/or rental income from the underlying property investments. Factors that may
impact those returns include changes to the property market, changing investor demand for property
investments and interest rate fluctuations.
• Fixed Interest The level and movement of interest rates is the primary risk factor for this asset class. Falling interest
rates may lead to an increase in the value of the underlying security and rising interest
rates may lead to the decrease in value of the underlying security.
• Cash Changes in the level of interest rates will affect the amount of interest paid on cash investments.
Alternative Investment Although alternative investments have a different risk/return profile to traditional investments, they may
Risk have exposure to any of the risks included this table. Alternative investments may have less liquidity.
The underlying investment manager may use gearing that magnifies both gains and losses.
Investment Risk The value of your investment may rise or fall and you may receive back less than your original
investment.
Credit Risk This refers to a risk of loss caused by the failure of a party to a transaction not meeting its obligations,
including not repaying the principal in full and/or on time. A negative effect on an investment’s credit
rating could also cause the investment’s value to fall.
Cash Flow and This is the risk of a Fund not having sufficient funds available to meet investor withdrawal requests or
Liquidity Risk other liabilities in a timely manner or that an investment may not be easily converted into cash with
little or no loss of capital and minimum delay. This may be caused by among others, disruptions in the
market place; some investments may not easily be sold in sufficient time to pay for withdrawals. If this
occurs, withdrawals may be suspended for the protection of all investors, even if other assets can be
readily sold.
Counterparty Risk The Fund may be exposed to losses where counterparties to investments default on their obligations.
The risk may result in possible loss of income for the Fund, the original capital invested or delays in
withdrawals.
Derivative Risk The value of derivatives linked to the value of underlying assets can be highly volatile, and therefore,
potential gains or losses from derivative transactions can be substantial.
Foreign Exchange Risk Investments in international markets carry the risk that foreign currencies may rise or fall in value
relative to the Australian dollar, such that if the Australian dollar rises, the value of international
investments expressed in Australian dollars can fall.
Fund Risk This is inherent risk associated with the Fund and includes the risk that the Fund could be terminated,
the fees and charges could change and the RE and/or Investment Manager could be replaced. There
is also a risk that investing in the Fund may give different results than investing directly in equities
(because of the consequences of investment and withdrawal by other investors which may be at
different times to you) and because of income or capital gains and losses accrued in the Fund.
Interest Rate Risk Changes in interest rates may have a direct or indirect impact on investment values and/or returns.
Market Risk Markets are affected by a number of factors, including changes in market sentiment, economic,
social, political, environmental and technological issues.
Portfolio Construction It arises when the Investment Manager uses a limited number of underlying managers at certain
and Diversification Risk times. This could give rise to the Fund’s asset being concentrated and the Fund’s investment portfolio
may become more susceptible to fluctuations in value.
Valuation Risk The RE generally relies on external parties to determine the value of Fund assets. This risk arises
because Fund assets may be difficult to value due to a number of factors including, among others,
the lack of an independently verifiable price or securities being traded infrequently.

Investment Objective The Fund’s primary investment objective is to provide regular income with a secondary objective
of long term capital appreciation from the Australian sharemarket.

Investment Strategy The investment strategy is based on investing primarily in a portfolio of securities listed on the
Australian Stock Exchange and will seek to identify and select companies with above average
growth and financial strength. The Fund will maintain a portfolio of bought and sold options over
Australian shares in order to deliver additional income and reduce investment risks.

The Fund will employ an option strategy, specifically, writing ‘covered call’ options on common
stocks comprising at least 80% of the total assets of the Fund. This strategy is designed to
produce income from option premiums and offset a portion of a market decline, if any, in the
underlying common stock, thereby managing and controlling investment risk.

Fees & Other Costs

Did you know?


Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long
term returns. For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your fund balance rather than 1% could reduce your
final return by up to 20% over a 30 year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000). You should consider
whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify
higher fees and costs. You may be able to negotiate to pay lower contribution fees and management costs where
applicable. Ask Astarra or your financial adviser.

To find out more


If you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities
and Investments Commission (ASIC) website (www.fido.asic.gov.au) has a managed investment fee calculator to help you
check out different fee options.

This table shows fees and other costs that you may be charged. These fees and costs may be deducted from your money, from
the returns on your investment (if any) or from the Fund’s assets as a whole. Taxes are set out on page 22. You should read all the
information about fees and costs because it is important to understand their impact on your investment. Fees and costs for the Fund
are set out on page 14 to 18. Amounts shown are inclusive of GST and net of any applicable reduced input tax credits available.
