Report the benchmark allocation to each strategic sector set as part of the board approved strategic asset allocation, reporting ‘Not Applicable’ for strategic subsector, strategic subsector domicile type, strategic subsector listing type and strategic subsector international economy type. Where the investment option is managed on a dynamic asset allocation basis and a benchmark asset allocation has been adopted, report the allocation in column 10. Where the investment option does not have asset allocation ranges, and thus no lower or upper benchmarks, leave column 11 and column 12 blank. Where investment domicile type ‘International Domicile’ or ‘Not Specified’ is reported in column 4 and currency hedging targets are set at asset class level or investment option level, report the investment currency hedging ratio (%) in column 13; otherwise, leave column 13 blank. If currency exposure targets are set at the investment option level, report the benchmark currency exposure in column 10 using ‘Currency Exposure’ as the strategic sector. In these instances, the investment benchmark allocation (%) to ‘Currency Exposure’ is treated separately and does not contribute to the total benchmark allocations of the investment option.

Where the listing is not specified when setting the strategic asset allocation, report investment strategic sector listing type as ‘Not Specified’. Report investment strategic sector listing type as ‘Not Applicable’ for asset class type ‘Cash’.

Where the investment domicile is not specified when setting the strategic asset allocation, report investment strategic sector domicile type as ‘Not Specified’.

Report investment strategic sector international economy type as ‘Not Applicable’ for investment strategic sector domicile type ‘Australian Domicile’. Where the investment strategic sector international economy type is not specified, report investment strategic sector domicile type as ‘Not Specified’.

Where the strategic sector:

a) listing type, domicile type or international economy type is ‘Not Specified’, or

b) allocation within the reported strategic sector includes other strategic sectors e.g. ‘Alternatives’ includes allocation to ‘Infrastructure’ or ‘Fixed Income’ includes allocation to both ‘Fixed Income Excluding Credit’ and ‘Credit’,

report an asset allocation target at the reporting date to the strategic subsector, strategic subsector listing type, strategic subsector domicile type and strategic subsector international economy type for each strategic subsector approved by the board, committee or individual with investment delegations under the investment governance framework of the RSE licensee. Report the benchmark allocation for the strategic subsector on an additional row for each combination of strategic sector and strategic subsector. If ‘Currency Exposure’ is reported for strategic sector, do not report a strategic subsector allocation.
