In their own words

"The Fund invests in global equities across various listed equity markets. The investment objective of the Fund is to outperform it’s benchmark index (50:50 combination of the MSCI World Index, and the MSCI Minimum Volatility Index optimised for NZ dollar based investors). Over the long-term (7+ years) the fund also aims to deliver pre-tax post-fee returns of over 6.5% per annum, and to produce better returns than the broader global equity universe (as proxied by the MSCI World index), while at the same time achieving a significantly lower level of risk (which can be measured in terms of lower return volatility, and smaller drawdowns than the MSCI World Index)."
