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 rose +2.72% in March, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +1.99% and taking annualised performance since inception in June 2017 to +24.98% versus the Index's +8.92%. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios, 1.63 and 2.80 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.83 and Sortino of 1.23, highlight the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns whilst also avoiding the market's downside volatility. In addition, the Fund's up-capture ratio of 190.1% and down-capture ratio of 71.1% for performance since inception indicate that, on average, the Fund has outperformed in both rising and falling markets.

Glenmore noted March was a much quieter month in terms of news flows following reporting season in February. Most of the stock price moves were not announcement related but rather driven by investors fully digesting the results and outlooks of the companies that reported in February. Top contributors included Jumbo Interactive (+24.6%), Dicker Data (+23.1%), Charter Hall Group (+16.7%), Bravura Solutions (+7.9%), Arena REIT (+7.8%), Auckland International Airport (+6.4%) and Pinnacle Investment Management (+5.1%). Detractors included Fiducian Group (-5.0%), Worley Parsons (-5.0%) and Stanmore Coal (-3.3%) despite no actual news flow released for these companies during the month.

Whilst the rally in equities has clearly seen valuations become more expensive (albeit from oversold levels in late 2018), Glenmore believe equities are likely to be supported given the outlook is for a combination of softening economic growth and benign monetary policy. They see that economic conditions are sufficiently healthy to allow companies to execute on their growth strategies. Overall, Glenmore emphasised that they are long term investors and remain very comfortable with the earnings outlooks for all of their investments.
