    Realindex Australian Small Companies - Class A (Net of Fees) Factsheet 28 Feb 2019 Fund strategy Fund facts Realindex forms a universe of companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange that are Benchmark ASX Small Ords Accum outside both the ASX 100 and the 100 largest companies based on accounting measures. Factors Funds under management $1023.8 million such as quality, near-term value and momentum are applied to form a final portfolio of companies. Inception Date 17 November 2008 The resulting portfolio has a value tilt relative to the benchmark and provides the benefits of being lower in cost, lower turnover and highly diversified compared to traditional active investment strategies. By weighting the portfolio based on accounting measures and factors such as quality, value and momentum Realindex aims to generate higher returns versus the benchmark over the long term. Commentary The Realindex Australian Small Companies Fund returned 5.43% (net of fees) during February, versus the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries benchmark which returned 6.78%. From a style perspective, the S&P Australia Small Cap Growth Index (+6.7%) outperformed its Value (+4.4%) counterpart by 2.3%. This was a significant headwind for performance, given the methodology’s inherent tilt towards cheaper companies. Underweights within the expensive Information Technology sector were by far the largest detractors of performance. The portfolio does not hold many of these high growth market darlings including Appen (+46.9%) and Afterpay (+15.9%) and has a large underweight position in Altium (+32.3%). These three stocks collectively accounted for almost two-thirds of the entire underperformance.
