ARIA works with leading investment managers to make sure your super is well managed.
Our policy on derivatives
Investment managers who enter into an investment management agreement with ARIA may use derivative securities (known as derivatives) to facilitate increases or decreases in the fund’s exposure to different investment markets. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value changes in response to the changes in underlying variables. Examples include futures, options and forward exchange contracts.
Derivatives within investment mandates are mainly used to reduce risk for you. Our investment managers are not permitted to use derivative securities for gearing the fund or any part of the fund, or for placing the fund in a position where it is short an asset class.
The investment mandates we grant to our investment managers, allowing them to use derivatives, reflect the policy for the fund as a whole. If ARIA’s investment managers are permitted to use derivative securities the limits will be clearly set out in the mandate. ARIA’s internal investment team (and Custodian) monitor whether derivative use is consistent with ARIA’s policy.
If you would like more information about our derivatives policy, call ARIA on 02 6263 6999.
