2 ishares Core Model Portfolios INTRODUCING ishares CORE ishares Core is a series of five low-cost, high quality funds designed to provide a simple way to construct diversified and robust portfolios that can be customised to meet your investment needs. ishares Core ETFs provide broad market exposure at less than 1/6th of the average cost of Australian managed funds, 1 providing the essential building blocks for exposure across markets and asset classes: Australian equities, international equities (hedged and unhedged), Australian fixed income and international fixed income (hedged). Whether you want to build from scratch or complement an existing client portfolio, ishares Core helps you deliver better portfolio outcomes with the backing of BlackRock, the world s trusted ETF leader. ishares CORE MODEL PORTFOLIOS Every investor is unique. This knowledge underpins our aim to give you the flexible tools to create portfolios tailored to your needs. With this in mind, we have constructed the ishares Core Model Portfolios, using ishares Core ETFs to provide you with a simple, low-cost way to build a strong foundation for your portfolio. Five model portfolios have been developed to match the risk categories; Conservative, Moderate, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive. These portfolios are based on the average portfolio allocations across asset classes by Australian managed funds in these categories. They are meant to be illustrative only and demonstrate a range of investment outcomes. They are not intended to be investment advice. Conservative Moderate Balanced Growth Aggressive The following four ishares Core ETFs have been used as building blocks in the ishares Core Model Portfolios and they provide broad and low cost exposure to distinct asset classes. Name ASX Ticker Asset Class Management Fee 2 ishares Core S&P/ASX 200 ETF IOZ Australian Equity 0.15% ishares Core MSCI World All Cap ETF IWLD International Equity 0.16% ishares Core Composite Bond ETF IAF Australian Fixed Income 0.20% ishares Core Global Corporate Bond ( Hedged) ETF IHCB International Fixed Income 0.26% 1 Source: Morningstar, Bloomberg, as of 31 March Comparison is between the average management fee (or indirect cost ratio) of the ishares Core ETF range (0.19%) and the average indirect cost ratio of the Morningstar Australian Investment Trust universe (1.42% excluding outliers to provide a more conservative measure). The Morningstar Australian Investment Trust universe is comprised of over 2,800 open-ended funds, including Unit Trusts, Superannuation Funds, Allocated Pensions and Term Allocated Pensions. Management fee / indirect cost ratio is quoted as a percentage of annual average net assets. 2 Management fee as disclosed in the fund s latest product disclosure statement, as at 28 April Subject to change. ishares CORE MODEL PORTFOLIO REBALANCING ishares Core ETFs provide a simple, quick and cost effective way to rebalance the exposures in your portfolio. The ishares Core Model Portfolios are updated semi-annually, letting you rebalance your clients exposures to ensure that they stay consistently aligned to the original strategic asset allocation and investment objectives.
