Identifying and investing in opportunities, not just markets
With markets continually changing and evolving it can be difficult to know when and where the opportunities lie - but we do know that research has shown that asset allocation is the main driver of returns. A strategy that regularly adjusts its allocation across markets and asset classes can help ensure investors have the appropriate exposure at the most opportune time.
"Ongoing monitoring of market and macro dynamics and asset class analysis ensures that portfolio allocation decisions can be made quickly in response to changing risk/reward profiles."
Nader Naeimi, Head of Dynamic Markets
"In a world of likely constrained and volatile investment returns, focusing on asset allocation is more important than ever."
Shane Oliver, Head of Investment Strategy and Economics, Chief Economist-
More closely matching investors' needs
By seeking to provide a return of 4.5% above inflation* rather than outperforming a market index or a peer group, the Fund aims to provide an investment outcome which more closely matches the needs of the investor.
-
Dynamic asset allocation
The Fund actively adjusts the split of investments across asset classes where we have the strongest conviction based on our dynamic asset allocation investment process and in response to expected market changes.
-
Investing in a broad range of markets
We pick markets from around the world - not individual stocks - and we don't have a bias towards a specific asset class.
-
Cost-effective investment solution
Implementing our views through ETFs and futures helps keep the portfolio liquid and low cost

How do we seek to generate growth?
-
The AMP Capital Dynamic Markets Fund uses active asset allocation to take advantages of opportunities we see arising from market mispricing. The Fund is actively managed in terms of asset allocation and currency hedging, with the flexibility to change the asset class mix and currency hedging level at any time within broad ranges.
The Fund provides investors with diversification by investing across a range of traditional asset classes such as shares, listed property, commodities, fixed income, credit and cash. The underlying asset class exposures within the Fund are achieved by investing in passively managed investments such as index funds* and exchange traded funds (ETFs), and using derivatives.
Dynamic Asset Allocation (DAA) is used to actively adjust the split of investments across asset classes in response to expected market changes. For example, when markets have fallen, the Fund may favour growth assets such as shares, whereas when markets are peaking the Fund may favour more defensive assets such as fixed income and cash.

What are the risks?
There is no guarantee that the Fund’s asset allocation strategy will provide positive investment performance at all stages of the investment cycle. The Fund invests in securities that are listed on share markets around the world. This means that the Fund will be affected by any risks associated with these securities. This includes how they perform, how sustainable their earnings are, and other factors that affect the value and performance of a security, as well as those associated with international investments. Before choosing to invest in the Fund, you should read the Product Disclosure Statement and Incorporated Information, and consider factors such as the likely investment return, the risks of investment and your investment timeframe.
Risks specific to Active ETFs
- Liquidity – although the units are quoted on the AQUA market of the ASX, there can be no assurance that there will be a liquid market for units, and no assurance that there will be a liquid market for the Fund’s investments.
- ASX trading price – the trading price of units on the ASX may differ from the Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit and the indicative NAV (iNAV).
- ASX trading – in certain circumstances, the ASX may suspend trading of the units of the Fund and in that event unitholders would not be able to buy or sell units of the Fund on the ASX.
- Market making – as the responsible entity, BetaShares, act as a market maker in the units on behalf of the Fund, the Fund will bear the cost and risk of these market making activities.
