Fund OverviewThe Fund is index unaware with an absolute return focus. The Fund seeks to invest in companies generating strong cashflows at attractive valuations. In absence of attractive investments being identified, the fund will hold cash. Glenmore will use a fundamental, research driven investment process to identify undervalued securities.

The main driver of identifying potential investments will be bottom up company analysis, however macro-economic conditions will be considered as part of the investment thesis for each stock.
Manager CommentsThe Glenmore Australian Equities Fund returned +3.66% in December, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +1.85% and taking performance since inception in June 2017 to +28.55%.

Positive contributors included NRW Holdings (+19.3%), Praemium (+17.5%) and Alliance Aviation Services (+15.2%). Detractors included Mastermyne (-9.0%), Arena REIT (-8.3%) and Emeco (-3.8%). Glenmore noted there were no specific news releases during December for all three detractors and they remain comfortable holders going into reporting season in February.

Glenmore believe valuations of equities are elevated, but not extremely so, with numerous stock specific opportunities still present on the ASX. Glenmore have also observed an increase in risk appetite, and noted the Fund has been selectively trimming positions in companies where the stock price has approached Glenmore's valuation. They note the next 12-18 months is highly likely to see an increase in equity market volatility. Currently, the Fund holds around 20% cash and hence is well positioned for any stock specific opportunities that might be created from a market correction.
