About the Fund

The Trust invests predominantly in a diversified portfolio of smaller companies in accordance with a disciplined Australian shares investment process.

The Trust aims to achieve returns (before fees, charges and taxes) that exceed the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index, over periods of five years.

The investment process

Acadian Asset Management follows an active investment process
underpinned by a belief that markets are inefficient, creating price anomalies that can be exploited by a disciplined and objective investment process. 

The team follows a style-neutral approach to Australian Small Cap equities that combines bottom-up, fundamental inputs to capture a broad range of quality, value, earnings growth and price-related factors as well as capturing sophisticated peer group signals.   

Their process aims to systematically unearth high quality securities with unrecognised value, as well as improving earnings prospects, to help unlock that value. These ‘best ideas’ are then systematically captured within a well-diversified, risk-controlled portfolio that aims to deliver strong and consistent active returns through different market environments.           

The final portfolio typically holds between 100 and 200 securities.

How we invest your money

The Trust invests in a diversified mix of Australian small cap assets. In order to gain exposure to the investment markets, the Trust may invest directly or indirectly via other unlisted trusts.

Portfolios are built from a diverse range of insights and close attention is paid to understanding the interplay between the holdings.
