03The reference index

Reward for risk

The metrics below relate to the Hamilton12 Australian Diversified Yield Index (H12ADYI), the independently calculated reference index whose strategy the Fund adopts. They are shown for research purposes and are not Fund returns.

H12ADYI Index (including franking)S&P/ASX 200 (including franking)
Standard deviation15.6% v 14.5%
Sharpe ratio0.67 v 0.45
Sortino ratio1.36 v 0.81
Maximum drawdown42.2% v 49.4%
Recovery2.1 yrs v 5.5 yrs
Upside / downside capture108% / 88%
Alpha, beta, Sharpe and Sortino ratios, upside and downside capture, maximum drawdown and recovery relate to the H12ADYI reference index versus the S&P/ASX 200 (franking credit adjusted), tax-exempt basis, since index inception on 8 September 2000; index performance prior to its November 2020 launch is back-tested. They are not Fund returns. Rolling 12-month history of the index shows returns above the S&P/ASX 200 (franking credit adjusted) for relatively low incremental risk, with below-average downside risk. Source: fund fact sheet as at 30 June 2026. Fund performance is calculated by Hamilton12 using NAVs from Apex Group Ltd; index data is provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices and Refinitiv (LSEG Data & Analytics).
Methodology and the reference index

The Fund adopts the same evidence based, systematic strategy as the Hamilton12 Australian Diversified Yield Index (H12ADYI), calculated independently by S&P Dow Jones Indices, with history back to 8 September 2000. Stocks are drawn from the All Ordinaries, selected on projected franked dividends within six months of each rebalance, and weighted for capitalisation and liquidity with diversification rules across all 11 ICB sectors. The portfolio rebalances six times per year.

The index history serves as independent proof-testing of the strategy. Index performance prior to its November 2020 launch is back-tested.
