About the Fund

The Fund invests all of its assets (other than some cash or cash equivalents) in units of the Antipodes Global Fund APIR IOF0045AU (Underlying Fund). The Underlying Fund provides the Fund with exposure to investments in securities listed on global markets. The Underlying Fund may use derivatives, predominantly to establish short positions in securities or market indices and thus reduce the Underlying Fund's net exposure to markets, and to hedge currencies.

Antipodes Partners' investment style

The investment philosophy of Antipodes Partners is that equity investment returns are primarily a function of:

  • economic performance of the business you own or business resilience'
  • price paid or starting valuation.

Antipodes Partners defines investment risk as the chance of permanent loss of capital or unforeseen volatility and, in this sense, it believes risk is best controlled by:

  • ensuring the price paid for a stock includes a margin of safety, that is, represents a discount to intrinsic value
  • developing a deep understanding of each stock within the context of the broader portfolio.

Business resilience' is determined by the degree and sustainability of competitive advantage and is ultimately subject to ongoing tests as excess returns will attract change in the operating environment, including new competition, technological disruption, greater regulation and management missteps. However, the market as an extrapolation engine is selectively irrational around the continuum of operating environment changes:

  • cyclical
  • structural
  • socio/macroeconomic.

How we invest your money

The Fund invests in units in the Underlying Fund.

We employ a rigorous process in the selection of any underlying fund into which we invest, which focuses on a range of factors. The Underlying Fund was selected based on its investment strategy, which is supported by Antipodes Partners' sound investment process and philosophy and the strength of the Antipodes Partners organisation and its key personnel.

The investment strategy of the Underlying Fund is to take advantage of the market's tendency for irrational extrapolation in response to changes in the operating environment, identify great businesses that are not valued as such and build high conviction portfolios with a capital preservation focus. Whilst the Underlying Fund primarily invests in international equities, the Underlying Fund's constitution permits a wide range of investments including but not limited to: cash and deposits; fixed income and debt securities; company securities other than shares (including options, convertible notes, rights and debentures); derivatives - exchange traded and over-the-counter (including options, participatory notes, futures and swaps for equity, fixed income, currency and credit default exposures); currency contracts; interests in managed investment schemes and collective investment vehicles; unlisted securities and securities that are not traded on a recognised market; bullion, land and other physical commodities.

The Underlying Fund typically invests in a select number of attractively valued companies listed on global share markets (usually a minimum of 30 long holdings). The Fund may use derivatives predominantly to establish short positions in securities or market indices and thus reduce the Fund's net exposure to markets, and to hedge currencies. Derivatives may also be used to amplify high conviction ideas. In the absence of finding individual securities that meet Antipodes' investment criteria, cash may be held. The Fund aims to provide income and some capital growth over the long-term.
