Key Features
About the FundThe Yarra Emerging Leaders Fund offers investors exposure to small and medium sized companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Applying Yarra's differentiated investment approach, the Fund seeks to unlock potential in the small and mid-cap universe. We aim to outperform the Emerging Leaders benchmark, which comprises 50% of the 50 Midcap Accumulation Index and 50% of the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index, over rolling three-year periods. The portfolio contains between 30 and 55 stocks listed on the Emerging Leaders benchmark, selected based on our fundamental, long-term and balanced investment approach. A broader opportunity set We believe having exposure to small and medium-sized ASX-listed companies offers superior liquidity and lower volatility and risk compared to a pure small cap investment approach. Leveraging independent research Our process of undertaking rigorous proprietary research is an invaluable advantage when focusing on the small to mid-sized end of the market, where we believe there is more hidden value to be captured. A fundamental, long-term and balanced approach Balance across investment styles and stock selection helps to deliver more consistent performance across market cycles. Our analysis avoids growth or value bias, uses multiple channels and focuses on opportunities across different time ranges. Significant Investor Visa compliant An investment in the Yarra Emerging Leaders Fund can be used as the balancing investment' component of a complying significant investment' for the purpose of applying for a significant investor visa. Investment approachAs an independent and active manager of Australian share portfolios, we are committed to building trusted and long-term relationships with our clients through the delivery of strong and sustainable investment returns. Our philosophy is based on our belief that markets are competitive but not perfectly efficient. We believe that mispricing opportunities arise when the market's valuation (as depicted in the share price) doesn't reflect our views on a company's true value. We have a large investment team, which helps ensure detailed analysis across the investment universe. By applying our fundamental and research-driven approach, we aim to identify and exploit market inefficiencies and add value through active management. We seek the best insights across a raft of industries and asset classes, collaborating daily across both the equities and fixed income markets. Our disciplined investment framework is used to assess the competitive position of a company and its industry outlook, culminating in an assessment of valuation based on a combination of methodologies including discounted cash flow analysis, free cash flow yields and asset based valuations. We supplement our approach with external research to gauge consensus views and determine where our views may be differentiated. These inputs drive stock selection decisions; once securities have been selected for inclusion, we create a portfolio which best meets the Fund's investment objective through balanced portfolio construction that focuses on risk and reward. Finally, our portfolios are monitored on a daily basis to ensure they contain the optimal blend of securities, seeking to deliver above average returns over the long term. |
