Sustainable

Objective	Before the payment of tax, the fund seeks to capture the performance of Australia's Sustainability Leaders with a well diversified portfolio with risk and return characteristics similar to the broader Australian share market (as represented by the S&P ASX 200 Index).
Risk level	High
Minimum suggested timeframe	Long
Investment strategy	Investing in the Sustainable option means you are investing in securities of companies that are included in the Vanguard Sustainability Leaders Australian Share Fund, which is managed by Vanguard. That fund invests in securities of companies recognised by their inclusion in the Australian Sustainable Asset Management (SAM) sustainability Index (the AuSSI) to the leaders in sustainable business practice in the relevant Australian industries in which those companies operate ('Australian Sustainability Leaders'). See the Product Disclosure Statement for more information. The Sustainable option is passively managed (it seeks to generate a risk and return profile that is similar to the broader Australian share market, as represented by the S&P/ASX 200 Index). You should be aware that ARIA's Sustainable option returns may deviate from Vanguard's underlying returns due to members' investing in and out of the option and ARIA's costs associated with administrating this option
Asset allocation	Australian equity 100% As at 31 March 2012 Investing in Australian equity means investing in the ownership of Australian companies. The return on investments come from the profits of these companies through the form of dividends and share price fluctuations. These returns can be very volatile and considered high risk in the short-term but may offer higher returns over the longer term.   Hover your mouse over an asset class to see the definition. View a printer friendly version of asset class definitions. Investments in each asset class can vary within a strategic asset allocation range.
