  • Low fee — 0.35% p.a., cheaper than 92% of Geared funds.

⚠ Geared fund — higher risk

This is a geared (leveraged) fund. It borrows to amplify returns from its underlying exposure — gains and losses are both magnified compared to an unleveraged fund, and losses can compound quickly in falling or volatile markets. Not suitable for a typical long-term buy-and-hold portfolio without understanding this risk.
