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 -2.61% in December and has returned +1.84% p.a. since inception in September 2018. NWQ noted the month was a challenging one for managers adopting both discretionary and systematic approaches, with each making a negative contribution to the Fund's overall return.

The Fund's equity and commodity positions were profitable in December while the FX and fixed income positions produced losses. NWQ highlighted that the Fund is a 'long volatility' strategy and as a strategy allocation within an investor's portfolio will be latent during periods of material outperformance for equities - such as calendar year 2019 - waiting to play its role during periods when equities and other long duration assets are challenged - such as the December quarter of 2018.
