Key Features
About the FundWCM Global Growth Limited provides investors with access to an actively managed portfolio of quality global companies found primarily in the high growth consumer, technology and healthcare sectors. The portfolio is managed by WCM Investment Management (WCM), a California-based specialist global equity firm with an outstanding long-term investment track record. WCM's investment process is based on the belief that corporate culture is the biggest influence on a company's ability to grow its competitive advantage or moat'. This process has resulted in WCM's Quality Global Growth strategy outperforming the MSCI World Index by an annualised 5.2% per annum over the past decade, with total firm assets under management growing to over AUD 42 billion. Investment objectivesThe Company's investment objectives are to seek quality businesses with strong global growth prospects, offering a distinct diversification from the Australian market. The performance objective of the Portfolio is to exceed the Portfolio's benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World Index ex-Australia with gross dividends reinvested reported in Australian dollars and unhedged (Benchmark) by more than 3% p.a. before tax and fees over rolling three year time periods, but with lower volatility than the Benchmark. The tracking error is expected to be in the range of 4.0%- 9.0% per annum ex-ante over a 3 year period. |
Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Company's Portfolio will be constructed
in accordance with the Company's Investment Strategy, using the Adviser's
investment process and philosophy. The performance objective of the Investment
Strategy is to grow wealth over time by seeking returns above the Benchmark of
more than 3.0% per annum (before tax and fees) over rolling 3 year periods but
with lower levels of volatility. The Company will purchase what is assessed to be leading, quality growth businesses and build a high conviction Portfolio of between 20 to 40 securities. The Portfolio may have significant investments in certain sectors within a particular industry or industries from time to time. The Adviser uses rigorous bottom-up research that seeks to identify companies with attractive fundamentals, such as long-term historical growth in revenue and earnings, and strong potential for future growth. The Adviser's investment process seeks companies that are industry leaders with rising competitive advantages; corporate cultures emphasising strong, quality and experienced management, low or no debt; and attractive relative valuations. The Adviser also considers other factors including political risk, monetary policy risk, and regulatory risk in selecting securities. The investment strategy has no geographic limitations (other than excluding Australia) or industry limitations and does not focus on any specific developed or emerging market. The Adviser will not seek to replicate or have regard to the Benchmark in the construction of the Portfolio and will build the Portfolio through its investment process. Permitted investmentsThe Portfolio is permitted to be invested in any of the following permitted investments:
