Key Features

About the Fund

A unique opportunity to invest in a concentrated investment fund that is focused on taking a strongly contrarian approach to systematically investing in global themes at key inflection points.

The Company has been established to provide investors with access to an actively managed global portfolio built around high conviction ideas, aiming at timing key investment inflection points to maximise returns. By adopting a contrarian approach this strategy will seek to identify investment opportunities that are being largely ignored by the wider market.

The investment strategy of the Company is to actively manage an investment portfolio across equities, commodities, currency, cash and derivatives throughout their respective market cycles with the aim of enhancing the long-term performance outcomes, using a contrarian investment style targeting key inflection points. The Manager's philosophy is that markets tend to overreact to events, which presents short term overpriced or underpriced opportunities. The Company will invest in a concentrated portfolio of investments targeting the turning points of these opportunities and will not be benchmark constrained, providing the agility to target opportunities across a wide range of asset classes, both rapidly and effectively.

The Company's objectives are to maximise total returns on behalf of Shareholders over time, while remaining mindful of managing risk and reducing portfolio volatility. This is not intended to be a forecast, it is merely an investment objective of the Company. The Company may not be successful in meeting this objective.

The investment style is "active, creating a portfolio of investments that is not comparable in make-up to any specific benchmark.
