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 (Fund) returned +1.02% in January, outperforming the S&P/ASX200 Accumulation Index, which fell -0.79%, by 1.81%. Since inception in May 2013, the Fund has an annualised return of 6.1% p.a., achieved with a volatility of 5.04%.

The Fund's Beta managers, which utilise a range of long/short equity strategies made a positive contribution to gross performance of +0.06%. The Fund's overall performance was bolstered by the performance of the Alpha managers who combined to contribute +1.04% in January. At the aggregate level, of the nine managers that comprise the Fund, seven delivered positive returns. It remains the view of NWQ that there exists the further potential for destructive equity and bond market volatility in the coming months and therefore, the portfolio continues to remain overweight to the Alpha or market neutral strategies.
