Fund profile
As filed in the prospectus · 2025 Q3
Macquarie Science and Technology Fund seeks to provide growth of capital.
The fund invests primarily in equity securities of science and technology companies worldwide, selected through bottom-up analysis for growth potential, earnings trajectory, management quality, and competitive advantages derived from scientific or technological developments. The manager identifies secular trends within industries and typically holds 35 to 60 stocks. Because the fund is nondiversified, it may concentrate a significant portion of assets in a limited number of issuers, creating risk of larger losses if those holdings decline.

These classes hold the same portfolio, so the 10.18pp spread over 5 years is the cost difference between them — roughly 2.04pp a year — not a difference in what they own.
May 2026 and Jun 2026 have been filed since the trailing figures were struck, so they are not in the table above or the curve — every figure here shares one cut-off, which is what makes them comparable with other funds.
