Investment approach

As 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.
