Australian Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF
Overview
Fund Objective
CRED aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides intelligent exposure to a portfolio of senior, fixed-rate, investment grade Australian corporate bonds.
Fund Strategy
The Fund's strategy will preference securities offering superior expected excess returns over Australian government bonds. Up to 50 bonds are selected, with eligible bonds requiring amounts outstanding of >$250m and a term to maturity of between 5.25 to 10.25 years.
Benefits
Attractive income paid monthly
Income is paid monthly at a rate expected to be higher than term deposits, government and composite bond exposures.
Diversification & defence
Australian corporate bonds historically have tended to rise when Australian shares have fallen, providing potential diversification and defensive benefits for portfolios.
Invest in bonds intelligently
CRED selects bonds based on expected returns rather than debt outstanding, seeking to avoid the shortcomings of traditional debt-weighted indices and provide higher returns.

Past performance is not an indicator of future performance. Returns are calculated in Australian dollars using net asset value per unit at the start and end of the specified period and do not reflect brokerage or the bid ask spread that investors incur when buying and selling units on the ASX. Returns are after fund management costs, assume reinvestment of any distributions and do not take into account tax paid as an investor in the Fund. Returns for periods longer than one year are annualised. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown.

1 This is the annual distribution return to the end of the relevant distribution date. The distribution return reflects the contribution to total investment return made by the Fund's distributions. Distribution return is calculated as the total return less the growth return. Total return is calculated as the percentage change in a continuing investor's interest in the Fund assuming reinvestment of all distributions back into the Fund (and no other application or withdrawal), net of ongoing fees. Growth return is the Fund's return excluding distributions, net of ongoing fees. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
