IOOF QuantPlus NZD: Quarterly update March 2016 Portfolio at a Glance The portfolio seeks to achieve long term capital growth through structured exposure to listed global equities in both developed and developing markets. The portfolio seeks returns by maintaining some exposure to firms with either smaller capitalisation or greater value, placing a lesser emphasis on smaller capitalisation firms in developing markets. To manage the risks associated with these exposures the portfolio maintains a high level of diversification. At least 80 per cent of net assets will be invested in securities or depository receipts of companies and property trusts listed on the stock exchanges of international developed and developing markets.
