Key Summary

BEAR

ESPO

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. The Fund expects to generate a positive return when the S&P/ASX Accumulation 200 Index falls (and a negative return when the index rises).

ESPO.AX was created on 2020-09-08 by VanEck. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on theme equity. The Fund aims to provide investment returns before fees and other costs which track the performance of the Reference Index in Australian dollars. The Fund does not aim to perfectly replicate the Reference Index on a one-to-one basis.
