Question

How does the dynamic Portfolio work?

AnswerRating

In broad terms, if the Income Plus Trading Strategy is performing well, the allocation to it within the Dynamic Portfolio is increased up to a maximum of 150% of the NAV. Alternatively, if the Income Plus Trading Strategy is performing poorly, the allocation to it is reduced in order to protect the Investor's Investment Amount from any future falls in the Income Plus Trading Strategy, subject to a minimum allocation of 0%.

The Dynamic Portfolio is administered by the Strategy Sponsor who compares the NAV of the Dynamic Portfolio with the value of the Protection Floor and calculates the allocation to the Income Plus Trading Strategy by setting the allocation equal to approximately 5 times the difference between the NAV of the Dynamic Portfolio and the value of the Protection Floor.

The following table illustrates the effect on the allocation to the Income Plus Trading Strategy given changes in various factors (assuming other factors are held constant):

Change in factor Effect on allocation to the Income Plus Trading Strategy within the Dynamic Portfolio
Interest rates increase Allocation tends to increase as the Protection Floor decreases
Interest rates decrease Allocation tends to decrease as the Protection Floor increases
AUD strengthens against USD Allocation tends to decrease as the NAV of the Dynamic Portfolio decreases
AUD weakens against USD Allocation tends to increase as the NAV of the Dynamic Portfolio increases
Income Plus Trading Strategy increases Allocation tends to increase as the difference between the NAV of the Dynamic Portfolio and the Protection Floor increases
Income Plus Trading Strategy decreases Allocation tends to decrease as the difference between the NAV of the Dynamic Portfolio and the Protection Floor decreases
