| Fund Overview | The fund seeks to identify opportunities in the share market to make positive returns (long and short) irrespective of market conditions. It is style agnostic, as compelling investment opportunities exist across all investment styles from time to time. The Fund places a high priority on capital preservation, and has an absolute return focus in accepting market risk. The Manager's experience across value, growth and discounted cash flow styles allows them to use a comprehensive approach to investment decisions that applies all three. They also have the patience to seek out only compelling opportunities, rather than settling for relative value. The portfolio is somewhat concentrated, looking to diversify across industries and themes, rather than by trying to stay near an index. The portfolio may at times have a large amount of cash or other protection. However once investments are made turnover may be relatively high in order to lock in gains and avoid losses. |
| Manager Comments | At month-end the Fund had a gross exposure of 87%, net exposure of 78% and a VaR of 1.1%. In May the fund was down -1.0% after fees against the backdrop of an even weaker Australian equity market. The portfolio was helped by its property and financials related investments and hurt by its technology and early stage product launch investments. In contrast to the previous month there was a lack of news flow and stocks generally drifted. Our net exposure increased somewhat this month as we have begun to add positions ahead of the upcoming results season. |
