Understanding passive management
Passive managers, also known as index managers, choose investments to form a portfolio that closely tracks a market benchmark (or index). Passive managers usually charge lower fees because they don’t need extensive resources to select investments.

*Carbon-constrained benchmarks
The Australian and international shares asset classes for this option are managed to custom carbon-constrained benchmarks. These benchmarks exclude, or have a reduced weighting to, some of the most carbon intensive companies. In accordance with our fund-wide investment restrictions, companies generating revenue from tobacco, thermal coal or controversial weapons (above applicable materiality thresholds) are also excluded. See the ‘Carbon-constrained benchmarks’ and ‘Responsible Ownership’ sections of the relevant PDS or Handbook for more information.
