There are two funds open for investors – The Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund Hedged and Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund Unhedged.
Lincoln’s retail managed funds are designed to cater for individual investors with a lower minimum investment amount, starting from $20,000. They also have the option of regular saving plan options to help boost their future contributions.
Lincoln’s wholesale managed funds are designed to cater for professional investors with significantly higher minimum investment amounts, in excess of $250,000 per fund.

The buy and sell spread is the difference between the net asset backed value of the units and the price to which you can purchase or sell those units. Similar to brokerage costs, when you transact in financial assets there are facilitation costs incurred. The buy/sell spread are implemented to recoup facilitation costs, so as not to disadvantage existing unitholders. It is important to note that the buy/sell spread is not a ‘fee’ and the spread itself is retained within the unit trust, it does not benefit the fund manager or any of the other service providers.
The purpose of the buy and sell spread is to ensure that investors entering or leaving a fund bear the costs of the transaction. For example, if you invest $100,000 into a fund, the fund manager will incur transaction costs which include brokerage, bid-ask spreads, settlement and clearing costs. Likewise, if you withdraw from a fund, the manager will incur transaction costs if he/she need to sell assets to provide the cash for withdrawal.
You are likely to pay a buy spread whenever you either make an investment or withdrawal from the fund. However, there are some exceptions. For example, when distributions are reinvested into more units, a buy spread is not usually payable. This is because no money enters or leaves the fund, so no assets are required to be bought or sold.
If you are a long-term holder of a fund, then a buy sell spread will make less difference to your overall returns.
The minimum initial investment amount for both the Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund and Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund Hedged is $100,000.
Distributions are paid annually, with the option to reinvest or receive cash directly in to your nominated bank account.
Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund Hedged: The performance fee is 20% p.a. of outperformance of the S&P 500 Accumulation Index (USD).
Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund: The performance fee is 20% p.a. of outperformance of the S&P 500 Accumulation Index converted to Australian Dollars.
No, the Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund has no minimum investment timeframe and you will not be penalised if you decide to redeem your funds within a short period of time. But we suggest a minimum of 5 years to allow an adequate timeframe for the Fund to deliver on its long-term objectives.
The U.S. Funds have a management fee of 1.00% per annum of the Net Asset Value of their respective Funds.
If you invest in the Unhedged fund, you are exposed to fluctuations in the Australian dollar. This can be a good thing if our dollar falls relative to the US dollar. For example, if you were invested in the Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund Unhedged and the value of the Australian dollar decreased relative to the US dollar, then the value of your portfolio would increase. Of course it can also work the other way around.
If you invest in the Hedged fund, we use strategies to offset the impact of currency fluctuations. This means if you invest in the Lincoln U.S. Growth Fund Hedged you are protected from the adverse impact of a rising Australian dollar. But equally, you don’t get to benefit from situations where the Australian dollar is falling.
If you have a strong view on where the Australian dollar is heading, you could favour one approach over the other.
