AGEST and
Pareto
AGEST has employed Pareto to hedge some of the foreign currency exposure of the fund's international Shares, international Private Equity and international Unlisted Property portfolios.
Objective and Strategy
Pareto's objective is to outperform the benchmark. The benchmark is the currency contribution to return of a passively managed 33% currency hedge applied to the MSCI World (ex Australian) Index* back to Australian dollars.
Pareto employs its Currency Risk Management Strategy to construct an Overlay Portfolio to hedge the foreign currency exposures of the above mentioned portfolios. The Overlay Portfolio is managed actively.
*The MSCI World (ex-Australian) Index measures the performance of major sharemarkets around the world (other than Australia), with each sharemarket's performance contributing to the index in proportion to its relative size by market capitalization. Dividends paid by companies are included in this calculation of performance.
