Strategy

BEAR.AX was created on 2012-07-06 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity. BEAR.AX seeks to generate returns that are negatively correlated to the returns of the Australian sharemarket.

CNEW.AX was created on 2018-11-08 by VanEck. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on total market equity. CNEW.AX gives investors a portfolio of the most fundamentally sound companies in China having the best growth prospects in sectors making up โ€˜the New Economyโ€™, namely technology, health care, consumer staples and consumer discretionary. CNEW.AX aims to provide investment returns, before fees and other costs, which track the performance of the Index.
