Strategy

UMAX.AX was created on 2014-09-17 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity.

The fund exists to track the performance of the MSCI World ex-Australia ex-Fossil Fuel Select SRI and Low Carbon Capped Index before considering any fees, expenses, and taxes.
