Realindex Australian Share Fund
Realindex Australian Share Fund Fact sheet - 31 Aug 2015 Fund strategy Fund facts The Realindex Australian Share Fund uses the RAFI® methodology in the Benchmark S&P / ASX 200 Accumulation Index construction of its portfolios which selects and weights companies Funds under management $2800.1 million according to their economic footprint defined by fundamental measures of Inception Date 17 November 2008 company size (sales, cash flow, book value and dividends). The portfolio is further enhanced by applying additional factors such as quality of earnings and debt coverage. Commentary The Realindex Australian Shares Fund returned -7.39% (gross of fees) during August 2015 outperforming the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index which returned -7.79% (its worst monthly performance since October 2008). Value (-7.3%) slightly outperformed Growth (-8.0%) during the month, extending the longer-term outperformance trend (-2.4% vs. -6.1%, 12 months to 31 August 2015). This outcome is typically favourable for portfolio performance, given the Value tilt inherent in the Fundamental Indexation methodology. The Materials sector (-5.2%) was the top contributor to relative performance during the month, driven by overweight holdings in steel companies Sims Metal Management (+21.4%) and BlueScope Steel (+18.7%). Sims reported a better-than-expected FY15 result, while BlueScope committed to $200m cost out by FY17, which was well received by investors. An overweight holding in Spark New Zealand (+13.0%) led the portfolio’s outperformance in the Telecommunications sector (-8.3%). Spark rallied after announcing positive earnings growth and an annual dividend increase at its FY15 results. Spark was the top contributor to relative performance across the portfolio at a company level. -

Royal Commission Into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability
FACT SHEET Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability On 5 April 2019, the Prime Minister, the Hon Scott Morrison MP, and Minister for Families and Social Services, the Hon Paul Fletcher MP, announced the establishment of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability. Why set up a Royal Commission? In Australia, royal commissions are the highest form of inquiry on matters of public importance. Recent inquiries and reports have shown that people with disability are more likely to experience violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation than people without disability. What we learn from the Royal Commission will help to inform Australian governments, institutions and the wider community on how to prevent, and better protect, people with disability from experiencing violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation in the future. Who was consulted on the draft Terms of Reference? The Australian Government ran a public consultation on the draft Terms of Reference for a Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability from 13 to 28 March 2019. The Government also consulted with disability peak bodies, advocates and with state and territory governments. The Government received over 3,700 responses to the online survey on the draft Terms of Reference. Thirty per cent of respondents were people with disability. The Terms of Reference for a Royal Commission define the scope of the Royal Commission’s inquiry. Ninety six per cent (96%) of respondents agreed the Terms of Reference should cover all forms of violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of people with disability, in all settings where they occur. -
