The Zurich Investments Global Thematic Share Fund has outperformed the benchmark over the past 5 years and achieved 1st quartile performance over 1, 3 and 5 years.

The benchmark unaware approach and long-term thematic focus enabled the fund to avoid US financial stocks, which suffered during the recent credit crunch. This was on the contributing factors to the fund's strong performance in 2007. By identifying global trends and making the most of opportunities, the thematic approach has shown it works time and time again.

Why consider the Zurich Investments Global Thematic Share Fund?

• Uses a thematic investment style that seeks out quality companies poised to benefit as a result of major changes taking place around the world

• Portfolio is constructed around 8-12 themes rather than a benchmark index

• Managed by our strategic partners Lazard Asset Management with a team of highly experienced portfolio managers and a long track record in thematic investing

• Typically holds around 100 stocks listed on overseas sharemarkets

• Up to 40% of the Fund's exposure to international assets may be hedged back to Aus $ as a way of managing currency risk. Fully hedged and fully unhedged funds are also available.

At Zurich Investments, we leverage the strength of the global Zurich brand to negotiate exclusive access to specialist investment managers that would otherwise be unavailable to retail investors.
