Fund OverviewThe NWQ Global Markets Fund (Fund), managed by NWQ Capital Management, is a diversified multi manager portfolio. The principal investment objective of the Fund is to produce returns commensurate with the volatility target of 15% p.a. as measured by the long term standard deviation of monthly returns.

This is achieved through active allocations to a select number of liquid alternative managers that employ a variety of strategies. The Fund places emphasis on managers who demonstrate a rigorous and repeatable investment process that has delivered a strong track record.
Manager CommentsThe NWQ Global Markets Fund rose +0.11% in June, taking performance since inception in September 2018 to +2.30%. There were strong positive contributions to the Fund's overall return in June from its equity and fixed income exposures. The Fund also saw a positive contribution from its commodity exposures. However, NWQ noted these were partially offset by losses from the Fund's currency exposures.

NWQ's view is that equity and bond market pricing reflect two very different outlooks for the global economy; equity investors are looking through falling earnings and expecting the Fed to step in and cut interest rates to justify current multiples, while bond investors see deteriorating economic fundamentals and geopolitical risks as potentially leading to a recession in the near term. NWQ believe we are likely to see higher levels of volatility whilst these conflicting outlooks resolve themselves. In this scenario they consider having a diversified portfolio of managers a sound way of navigating the potentially challenging times ahead.
