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 rose +1.65% in November, taking annualised performance since inception in May 2013 to +6.84% with a volatility of 4.82%. The ASX200 Accumulation Index has returned +7.85% per annum with a significantly higher volatility of 11.31% over the same period. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios since inception are +21.16% and -5.45% respectively.

There were solid contributions to the overall Fund performance from both the Alpha and Beta managers. The Beta managers benefited from the continued strength of the broader equity market, while the Alpha managers benefited from higher levels of dispersion both within and across sectors. Overall, seven of the eleven underlying managers comprising the Fund delivered positive returns.

The Fund is a diversified multi manager portfolio comprising 11 managers in total, 6 Alpha managers and 5 Beta managers.
