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 CommentsNWQ Fiduciary Fund fell 1.54% in August and returned +12.72% over the last 24 months. Since inception in May 2013, the Fund has an annualised return of 8.03% p.a., achieved with low volatility of 4.81% to give notable Sharpe and Sortino ratios of 1.15 (Index 0.36) and 2.23 (Index 0.44) respectively.

The earnings season proved difficult for some of the Fund's long managers. This earnings volatility stabilised by month-end and these same positions began to rise following buying interest into the new month. The Beta managers attributed +0.01% for the month, avoiding the market downside. However, the Alpha managers were impacted more heavily by the reporting season, contributing -1.46% for the month. The Fund remains overweight to the Alpha or market neutral strategies to protect again future equity and bond market volatility.
