Key Features

About the Fund

The WCM Quality Global Growth strategy 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.

Investment objective

The performance objective of the Fund is to achieve a long-term total return that exceeds the MSCI All-Country World Index ex-Australia (with gross dividends reinvested reported in Australian dollars and unhedged) (Benchmark) before fees, taxes and expenses over rolling three-year time periods, but with lower volatility than the Benchmark.

Mandate

How we invest your money

The Fund will invest in a high conviction, actively managed diversified portfolio of listed, quality, high growth companies sourced from developed (ex-Australia) and emerging markets, with the primary objective of providing long-term capital growth. Adding a globally-listed, quality high growth allocation to a portfolio may enhance returns and provide investors with valuable portfolio diversification benefits relative to other asset classes, such as Australian listed equities, Australian property and cash.

WCM will invest the Fund's assets in quality global growth businesses with high returns on invested capital, superior growth prospects and low debt that are fundamentally attractively valued.

The Fund may invest in exchange traded options and futures. Derivatives, including futures, options and index exchange traded funds are used for risk management and cash flow management purposes, though not to a material extent. Gearing is not allowed in the Fund, nor is short-selling of securities.

Asset allocation

The Fund will typically comprise between 20 and 40 securities with asset allocation weights as follows:

  • Developed and emerging market equities (ex-Australia): 93-100%
  • Cash and cash equivalents: 0-7%
