| Fund Overview | 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 Comments | NWQ noted amidst the October turmoil there was a sharp rotation from high-quality growth stocks, which are those expected to outperform in the medium to long term and are typically favoured by the Fund's underlying managers, into defensive value stocks, which are typically candidates for being shorted by the Fund's underlying managers. As a result of this rotation, the short portfolio did not provide sufficient hedge to offset the losses in the long portfolio. NWQ noted there are positive early signs in November that this rotation is reversing. The NWQ Fiduciary Fund is a diversified multi manager 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 selected Australian equity 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. |
