About the Fund

The underlying Fund is managed by Stephen Anness and the Global Equities team in the Henley Investment Centre, England. The team uses a fundamental, bottom-up approach driven by valuation, building a concentrated, 'best ideas', high conviction global equity portfolio. The team builds a 35-45 stock portfolio drawn from a pool of 60-100 candidate stocks, which are in turn selected from a much wider universe of securities with a minimum market cap of US$1 billion (approximately 7,000 securities).

How we invest your money

The Fund invests in global equity securities listed in developed or developing markets that generally have a minimum market capitalisation of US $1 billion.

Our investment approach is active and research driven. We look to identify significantly undervalued companies and leverage these opportunities through a primarily bottom-up, fundamentally driven, unconstrained investment process. We look to identify companies with attractive valuations that deliver sustainable returns through the economic cycle, as well as companies with strong financial characteristics, strong franchises and management that is focused on disciplined capital allocation.

With a strong emphasis on valuation, when considering a security we look to identify where there is asymmetry between the expected rewards and risks taken. In order to understand the risks faced, the impact of top-down factors on companies are also considered.

The underlying investments are managed by Invesco's Henley office (United Kingdom), with supervision and monitoring undertaken by our Melbourne office.

The underlying portfolio generally holds between 30 and 50 stocks.

The Fund is permitted to borrow and to grant security over its assets. We do not intend to borrow or raise money in connection with the Fund for investment purposes, but may from time to time borrow for administrative purposes such as to cover timing differences between settlement of sales and purchases of underlying securities, and funding withdrawals.
