Strategy

BEAR.AX was created on 2012-07-06 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity.

SMLL.AX was created on 2017-04-07 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on small cap equity. The fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over the medium to long term (after fees and expenses) by investing in a portfolio of high quality, profitable small companies.
