Fund OverviewThe NWQ Fiduciary Fund (Fund), managed by NWQ Capital Management, is a diversified multi-manager portfolio, modelled on NWQ's Fiduciary Model Portfolio. The principal investment objective of the Fund is to produce attractive positive returns irrespective of market direction. This is achieved through active allocations to selective fund managers that employ a variety of traditional and absolute return strategies. The Fund places emphasis on managers who demonstrate a rigorous and repeatable investment process that has delivered a strong track record.

The Fund aims to produce returns, after management fees and expenses of between 8% to 11% p.a. over rolling five-year periods. Furthermore, the Fund aims to achieve these returns with volatility that is a fraction of the Australian equity market, in order to smooth returns for investors.
Manager CommentsThe NWQ Fiduciary Fund returned -1.62% for the month of January and has returned +14.06% over the last 12 months. Since inception in May 2013, the Fund has an annualised return of 10.26% p.a., compared to the ASX200 Accumulation Index's return of 3.13% p.a. This return has been achieved with low volatility to give notable Sharpe and Sortino ratios of 1.74 (Index 0.12) and 4.54 (Index 0.08) respectively.

Fund returns were negative for January against the volatile global backdrop. The ASX200 Total Return Index fell -5.48%. The Fund's Beta managers utilised a range of long/short equity strategies, offered downside protection, contributing -1.03% for the month. The Alpha managers significantly outperformed the market, posting an attribution of -0.50%.

NWQ's expects further potential for destructive equity and bond market volatility in the coming months. Therefore, the portfolio has an overweight allocation to Alpha, or market neutral strategies, to provide downside protection.
