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 returned +3.27% over the September quarter, taking annualised performance since inception in September 2018 to +5.20% with an annualised volatility of 7.68%. The Fund's down-capture ratio of -27.5% for performance since inception indicates that, on average, the Fund has risen during the months the market has fallen.

The Fund returned -1.73% in September. NWQ noted global markets continue to be caught between the conflicting currents of a global economic slowdown and heightened geopolitical risk on the one hand and central bank policies designed to stimulate growth on the other. This environment favoured managers that adopt a discretionary trading approach and collectively those managers in the Fund's portfolio made a positive contribution to the overall return (+0.62%), while managers with a systematic approach found this environment more challenging (-2.23%).

The Fund's equity and currency exposures were positive contributors during the month. There were also modest losses from the Fund's fixed income and commodity exposures.
