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 has risen +15.98% over the past 12 months versus the ASX200 Accumulation Index's +8.64%. Since inception in June 2017, the Fund has returned +21.26% p.a. versus the Index's +8.81%. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios for performance since inception, 1.33 and 2.12 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.76 and Sortino of 1.03 for the same period, highlight the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns whilst avoiding the market's downside volatility over the long-term.

The Fund returned -9.9% in February. Glenmore noted February was a very busy month, with essentially all of the Fund's holdings reporting their results for the last 6 months. Despite the monthly return, the vast majority of the Fund's holdings had excellent results which were overwhelmed by coronavirus sentiment in the last week of the month. Glenmore expect the aggressive market sell-off will produce outstanding buying opportunities over the next few months.

Top contributors during the month included Opticomm and Pinnacle Investment Management. Detractors included NRW Holdings, Bravura Solutions, Magellan Financial Group and Kangaroo Island Plantation Timbers. Glenmore have not made significant changes to the portfolio with the cash weighting at approximately 15% at month-end.
