First Sentier Geared Australian Equity Fund

First Sentier Geared Australian Equity Fund is an actively managed, geared Australian equity fund tailored for investors seeking amplified exposure to local share market performance. The fund achieves its objective by borrowing at low institutional interest rates to invest primarily in high-quality, growth-oriented companies within the ASX 100, selected for their robust balance sheets, strong cash flow generation, and liquidity. This gearing strategy magnifies both gains and losses, making the fund suitable for those with a higher risk tolerance. The fund is distinguished by its experienced investment team, leveraging over 25 years of expertise in navigating both rising and falling markets. Sector allocations are diversified across financials, materials, health care, consumer discretionary, and more, reflecting a disciplined, research-driven approach to stock selection. By focusing on companies capable of compounding earnings and delivering franked dividends, the fund’s strategy aims to enhance long-term capital growth potential and after-tax income. The fund structure, now accessible via an exchange-traded format, allows investors to incorporate an actively managed, geared Australian equity exposure into their portfolios without the need to manage margin calls directly.
