Future Fund piles into equities as assets top $250b

The Future Fund has leaned into the global sharemarket rally to deliver a 12.2 per cent return over the financial year as the sovereign wealth fund’s assets topped $250 billion for the first time.

Future Fund chief executive officer Raphael Arndt said the most important investment call over the last year was upping the fund’s exposure to equities by 5 per cent to keep pace with inflation. The move helped assets jump $27.5 billion over the 12 months through June.
