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 returned +40.29% over CY2019 versus the ASX200 Accumulation Index's +23.40%. Since inception in June 2017, the Fund has returned +26.11% p.a. versus the Index's +10.74%. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios for performance since inception, 1.75 and 3.36 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 1.07 and Sortino of 1.68, highlight the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns whilst avoiding the market's downside volatility over the long-term. Since inception, the Fund has maintained an up-capture ratio of 188% and down-capture ratio of 72%, indicating that, on average, the Fund has significantly outperformed in both rising and falling markets.

The Fund returned -1.67% in December, outperforming the Index by +0.5%. Top contributors included Moelis Australia (+10.2%), Polynovo (+10.1%), Magellan Financial Group (+8.5%), NRW Holdings and Stanmore Coal. Key detractors included Jumbo Interactive (-27.3%), Phoslock Environmental Technologies (-10.1%), VGI Partners (-8.8%) and Opticomm (-7.0%). Glenmore noted there were no company announcements from VGI or OPC during the month, however both had been strong performers in 2019 and thus some retracement was not unexpected.

Glenmore believe the main driver of strong performance in equities throughout 2019 was low interest rates, which continue to underpin demand for stocks. Despite the Fund's significant outperformance over the past 12 months, Glenmore continue to find undervalued stocks in their universe and feel optimistic about the prospects for the portfolio in the year ahead.
