This Dimensional fund is NZD-hedged, meaning the fund manager uses currency hedging to reduce the impact of exchange-rate fluctuations between the New Zealand dollar and the underlying foreign currency exposure of its global equity holdings. Hedging aims to protect the fund value from NZD strength or weakness, though it does not eliminate all currency risk.

This fund holds approximately 98.31% in growth assets with a risk indicator of 5 out of 7 on the FMA standardised scale, reflecting moderate-to-high volatility typical of global equity funds. Key risks include equity-market volatility, currency movements (despite hedging), and concentration risk from its global equity holdings; see the fund's Product Disclosure Statement on FMA Disclose for full risk disclosures.
