Fund OverviewInsync's investment strategy is driven by fundamentals combined with active risk management with the aim of investing in high quality, large cap global companies at attractive prices. Insync looks for companies that can consistently pay rising dividends and earn high returns on invested capital. Insync aims to provide investors with long-term capital growth and some income.

Insync employs four simple screens to narrow the universe of over 40,000 listed companies globally to a focus group of high-quality companies that it believes have the potential to consistently grow their profits and dividends. These screens are: size of the company, balance sheet performance, valuation and dividend quality. Companies that pass this due diligence process are then valued using dividend discount models, free cash flow yield and proprietary implied growth and expected return models. The end result is a high conviction portfolio typically of 15-30 stocks.

The principal investments will be in shares of companies listed on international stock exchanges (including the US, Europe and Asia). The Fund may also hold cash, derivatives (for example futures, options and swaps), currency contracts, American Depository Receipts and Global Depository Receipts. The Fund may also invest in various types of international pooled investment vehicles.
Manager CommentsThe Insync Global Quality Equity Fund rose +7.35% in April, outperforming AFM's Global Equity Index by +3.26% and taking annualised performance since inception in October 2009 to +13.26% versus the Index's +11.42%. The Fund's down-capture ratio of 62.12% indicates that, on average, the Fund has outperformed during the market's negative months despite lacking downside protection.

Of the Fund's top 10 holdings, equating to about 60% of the portfolio, the strongest returns came from Walt Disney (+22.7%) and Facebook (+15), while the weakest performers were Intuit (-5%) and Amadeus IT (-1.1%). The Fund's top holdings as at the end of April included Visa, Intuit, Walt Disney, Accenture, Facebook, Tencent Holdings, Booking Holdings, Amadeus IT, Adobe and Zoetis.
