Mandate

How we invest your money

The Fund is managed using a disciplined value-oriented approach supported by intensive, on-the-ground bottom-up fundamental research resulting in a concentrated portfolio of fixed interest securities issued by companies in Asia and the Middle East, which, in the view of the Investment Manager, are undervalued, on either an absolute or a relative basis, have the potential to generate regular income and have the potential for some capital appreciation.

Investments guidelines

There are no fixed geographic weightings in the allocation of the Fund's assets. Any geographic or industry weightings will be mainly driven by the bottom-up selection process. The Fund is expected to be fully invested except where defensive strategies such as moving to cash are employed. A portion of the portfolio may also be allocated to cash for liquidity purposes. Derivative instruments such as forwards and participatory notes may be used; however, not for the purposes of leveraging or magnifying the Fund's exposure to any particular asset or market. The Fund may carry out foreign exchange transactions to facilitate the purchase and sale of securities and the collection and transfer of income as well as to implement any currency hedging. The Fund is expected to be hedged in Australian dollars within a range of 0% to 100% of the Fund's NAV.
