About the FundThe Yarra Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund provides investors with access to a diverse, balanced investment universe with lower stock and sector concentration. The Fund seeks superior returns, providing investors with access to a diverse and balanced portfolio offering strong growth potential over the medium to long-term. In excluding the largest 20 stocks on the Australian Securities Exchange by market capitalisation (ASX20'), the Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 ex S&P/ASX 20 Accumulation Index over rolling three-year periods. The portfolio typically holds between 15 - 30 stocks, providing investors with a concentrated portfolio built around stock-specific insights. A diverse, balanced opportunity set There is a significant concentration of Banking and Resources companies amongst the largest 20 stocks on the Australian Securities Exchange. By excluding these companies, a focused portfolio of 15 - 30 high-quality businesses provides a diverse, balanced investment universe with lower stock and sector concentration. Harnessing more opportunities The large investment universe enables access to a substantial number of large, mid and small-cap companies. A fundamental approach which is well suited to Ex-20 investing Our active and bottom-up investment approach is well suited to Ex-20 investing, where stock prices do not always accurately reflect their underlying valuation or risk profile. Opportunities are identified through fundamental, bottom-up analysis, a balance of investment styles and from insights gathered from more than 1,600 meetings held each year.

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. |
