Over three decades, our robust systematic process has delivered long-term, consistent, index-plus returns across a range of strategies for leading super funds, institutions and everyday investors. And now, we have launched active ETFs which are listed on the ASX – making it even easier to invest in a systematic strategy.
Our quantitative process sifts through mountains of data: prices, volumes, earnings, expenses, trends, valuations, ratios, carbon footprints and even the ‘tone’ of a company’s announcement. Through a range of proprietary tools, we synthesise this immense volume of data into unique insights to construct a fine-tuned portfolio. Our process aims to identify companies with the best chance of outperformance, while reducing the risks of emotional biases and avoiding unrewarded tilts such as style, sector and country bets.

The above table shows the NAV unit price for the Macquarie Core Australian Equity Active ETF. It is provided for informational purposes only. Investors, other than Authorised Participants, can only buy and sell units in the Macquarie Core Australian Equity Active ETF on the ASX. The trading price of units in the Macquarie Core Australian Equity Active ETF on the ASX on a day may vary from the NAV unit price on that same day due to factors that do not affect the NAV unit price such as investor demand and the bid/ask spreads applied by Authorised Participants. Typically, the price at which Authorised Participants will be willing to buy units from investors on a day will be less than the NAV unit price on that same day and the price at which Authorised Participants are willing to sell units to investors on a day will be higher than the NAV unit price on that same day.
The NAV unit prices listed above are cum prices calculated as at the specified valuation date. Cum price means that income, realised capital gains and any returns of capital (which form part of the distribution) are included in the unit price. While all due care has been taken in the calculation of the unit prices, such information may be updated where necessary.

All investments carry risk. Different investments carry different levels of risk, depending on the investment strategy and the underlying investments. Generally, the higher the potential return of an investment, the greater the risk (including the potential for loss and unit price variability over the short term). The risks of investing in this Fund include:
Investment risk: The Fund has exposure to share markets. The risk of an investment in the Fund is higher than an investment in a typical bank account or fixed income investment. Amounts distributed to unitholders may fluctuate, as may the Fund’s unit price, by material amounts over short periods.
Market risk: The investments that the Fund has exposure to are likely to have a broad correlation with share markets in general. Share markets can be volatile and have the potential to fall by large amounts over short periods of time. Poor performance or losses in domestic and/or global share markets are likely to negatively impact the overall performance of the Fund.
Security specific risk: Securities and the companies that issue them are exposed to a range of factors that affect their individual performance. These factors may cause an investment’s return to differ from that of the broader market. The Fund may therefore underperform the market and/or its peers due to its security specific exposures.
Manager risk: There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its performance objectives, produce returns that are positive, or compare favourably against its peers, or that the strategies or models used by the Investment Manager will produce favourable outcomes
More information on the risks of investing in the Fund is contained in the Product Disclosure Statement, which should be considered before deciding to invest in the Fund.
