Strategy

UMAX.AX was created on 2014-09-17 by BetaShares. The fund's investment portfolio concentrates primarily on large cap equity. UMAX.AX aims to generate attractive quarterly income and reduce the volatility of portfolio returns by implementing an equity income investment strategy over a portfolio of stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index. UMAX.AX does not aim to track an index.

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.
