Fund OverviewThe fund aims to deliver a return over the MSCI All Countries World Index (net dividends reinvested) in AUD over the medium to long term by bringing a disciplined investment process to listed global companies impacted by disruption.

The investment process involves a combination of top-down analysis with fundamental bottom-up qualitative and quantitative research to derive a risk-adjusted discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation of companies in the target universe. The investment team will generally buy stocks from the pool of securities that are trading below Loftus Peaks' valuation and sell them when they are trading above Loftus Peak's valuation. The approach allows for both fundamental accounting information as well as market-oriented inputs to be factored into the portfolio construction process. Loftus Peak's model typically does not rely on leverage to deliver investment returns and specifically takes into account risk in the valuation process.

Capital preservation can be managed by holding up to 50% cash. Index and currency options and futures may also be used to manage risk.
Manager CommentsThe Loftus Peak Global Disruption Fund has returned +4.90% over the past 12 months versus AFM's Global Equity Index's +2.92%. Since inception in November 2016, the Fund has returned +20.20% per annum versus the Index's +13.59%. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios since inception indicate that, on average, the Fund has outperformed in both rising and falling markets.

Loftus Peak noted November was another volatile month, marked by significant uncertainty as China and the US manoeuvred for position in the trade war, resulting in the Fund delivering -2.50%. Key detractors included Nvidia and Apple. Positive contributors included Alibaba, Tencent, NXPI, Broadcom and Tesla. In addition, Loftus peak noted the Australian dollar appreciated 3.24% over the month against the US dollar which hurt the value of the Fund's US dollar positions. As at 30 November 2018, the Fund carried a foreign currency exposure of 99%.
