Fund OverviewThe Meme Australian Share Fund uses a robust and back-tested quantitative trend-following strategy to identify investment opportunities expected to provide both positive price appreciation and relative price outperformance over the medium to long term. The Fund invests on a long-only basis and does not use derivatives. Meme's investment philosophy is logically derived from addressing our prime investment objectives of creating and preserving wealth. The philosophy therefore comprises elements which separately address investment returns and investment risks while at the same time respecting the interplay between them.

The Fund's investment strategy seeks to identify low-risk entry opportunities and then build positions in these stocks. Once established in the portfolio, individual stock holdings are maintained for as long as their long-term upward trend remains intact and while they continue to make positive contributions to portfolio growth. Positions are reduced and ultimately closed out as their trends become exhausted or as their relative long-term performance against the broad market weakens.

The Fund believes that longer time frame investments also provide a number of advantages. The effect of false signals and 'noise' which attend shorter term time frames is mitigated by only attending to signals which are confirmed by our longer term assessments. Also, the Fund gains exposure to the more expansive price trends which can last for months and years, allowing dividends and distributions received during this time to further enhance portfolio returns.
Manager CommentsMeme Australian Share Fund gained 7.12% compared to the ASX200 Accumulation Index's gain of 4.37%, an outperformance of 2.75% for the month of October. Since inception, the Fund has an annualised return of 17.11% p.a (Index 8.51% p.a.) with notable Sharpe and Sortino Ratios of 1.15 and 1.82 respectively.

In October, some of the Fund's stronger performing stocks gave new opportunities and therefore the Fund increased these holdings. As a consequence the number of holdings in the portfolio decreased from 82 in the prior month to 79 stocks. The portfolio cash remained at about 1% and at month end the portfolio was fully invested.

The Fund's bottom-up stock selection resulted in significant non-correlation to the broad market allocations.The top 10 holdings accounted for over 29% of the portfolio. By the end of October the stocks that met the Fund's strategy increased from 6.7% to 10.3% of the liquid stocks on the ASX, which the Fund expects will provide further investment opportunities.
