Strategy

FRAR.AX was created on 2024-04-15 by Franklin. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on multi-strategy alternatives. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with access to an actively managed portfolio of fixed income strategies with an aim to deliver returns in excess of the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index, after fees and expenses (but before taxes), over the short to medium term.

VESG seeks to track the performance of the FTSE Developed ex-Australia Choice Index (with dividends reinvested) before considering any additional fees, expenses, and taxes.
