Contributing to the s outperformance were strong absolute returns from our global equities portfolio, including the Multi-Asset Factor Exposure, the Tax Effective Global Shares and the Global Opportunities. Our use of options to take advantage of the strong rally in US stocks over the period was also positive. However, an overweight to emerging markets did limit the global equity portfolio s gains. Also adding value were our global high-yield debt exposure and positive absolute and benchmark-relative returns from our Australian equities portfolio. Meanwhile, a weaker AUD helped boost the absolute returns of the s assets denominated in foreign currency. In contrast, the s global bonds portfolio detracted from performance as interest rates and currency positioning overshadowed positive returns from our credit exposures. The s commodities exposure also weighed on performance after the broader commodity complex fell over the quarter. Meanwhile, our Australian bonds portfolio had a relatively neutral impact on overall returns. In terms of positioning, we reduced both the s hedging ratio and our underweight to the euro during the period. For the year ending 30/6/2018 as a percentage of net assets.
