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 returned +0.16% in September and +13.69% over the latest 24-months. Since inception in May 2013, the Fund has an annualised return of 7.88% p.a., achieved with low volatility of 4.85% to give notable Sharpe and Sortino ratios of 1.14 (Index 0.36) and 2.20 (Index 0.44) respectively.

The Fund's Beta managers attributed -0.02% for the month, as intra-month volatility made market positioning difficult. At month-end, selective rebalancing was implemented within the Beta strategy, which NWQ expects will provide further return diversification within the strategy. The Alpha managers were better positioned throughout the month and attributed +0.26%. The Fund continues to remain overweight to the Alpha or market neutral strategies to protect again future equity and bond market volatility.
