Key Summary

BEAR

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).

USD.AX was created on 2011-01-31 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on long usd, short aud currency. USD.AX aims to track the performance of the U.S. dollar against the Australian dollar (before fees and expenses). If the U.S. dollar goes up 10% against the A$ the Fund is designed to go up 10% too, before fees and expenses. Conversely, the Fund will go down if the U.S. dollar falls.
