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 +2.11% in August, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +4.47% and marking 12 months since inception in September 2019. The Fund has returned +7.50% with a volatility of 7.66% since inception. By contrast, the Index has returned +5.91% with a volatility of 12.98% over the same period.

There were positive contributors to the Fund's overall return from both the discretionary (+1.94%) and systematic (+0.52%) managers. The Fund's currency and equity exposures were the largest positive contributors in August. There were modest losses from the Fund's commodity and fixed income exposures.

NWQ believe the ongoing deterioration in economic fundamentals across the globe is likely to continue to spur episodic volatility in global markets similar to that which was seen in August.
