Mandate
How we invest your moneyThe Fund operates as a fund-of-fund' and gains its investment exposure through its indirect investment in the Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund employs a global long/short equity investment approach to construct a portfolio with an emphasis on companies that operate in global industries such as technology, healthcare, consumer and industrials/cyclicals. The Investment Manager invests in long and short positions, with an expectation of producing above average returns. The long position purchases are typically securities that the Investment Manager believes to be undervalued, with improving business fundamentals, and the short position purchases are typically securities with deteriorating fundamentals that the Investment Manager believes to be overvalued. Geographically, the Underlying Fund invests in North America, Asia, and Europe, with some emerging markets exposure, and invests across all market capitalisations. The Fund aims to be fully invested in the Underlying Fund, subject to holding only sufficient cash to meet Fund expenses and withdrawals. In considering the Fund's investment strategy, the Responsible Entity has undertaken due diligence in relation to the operations and management of the Underlying Fund, including the Investment Manager and the use of leverage, derivatives and short selling in respect of the investment strategy of the Underlying Fund. Investment philosophy and processThe Apis Capital strategy is formulated on the belief that important information is lost or mispriced when it crosses country borders. This inefficiency is the result of investments being allocated into geographic silos while industries and companies have become significantly more global. Apis Capital's strategy is to take advantage of this mismatch by using the information it gathers on an industry in one geography to find investment opportunities in another geography. Typically, this occurs along supply chains, customers or competitors within the industry. Due to the nature of the strategy, there are no fixed diversification requirements or specific limitations as to the types of securities or other instruments, industries, sectors, countries or asset classes in which the Underlying Fund invests.
