A core portfolio of Australian equities

The Fund is a high conviction investment fund. That means Antares will only invest in its best investment ideas. The Fund invests in a concentrated portfolio of up to 30 equities outside the largest 20 listed companies by
market capitalisation. The Fund may also invest in equities expected to be listed on the Australian share market. 

Ease of administration

It would generally be difficult for an individual investor to efficiently construct and manage a portfolio of equities similar to the Fund. Additionally, we provide investment confirmations, transaction and distribution statements, monthly Fund reports, website updates and an annual tax statement to keep you up to date on your investment. You can also access statements on your account through the online investor portal at antarescapital.com.au

While the Fund offers investors the potential for higher returns over the long term compared to funds investing in other types of assets such as fixed income or cash, the higher level of volatility in the Fund means the likelihood of the value of your investment going down over the short term is relatively very high. 

The Fund is a concentrated portfolio of Antares’ highest conviction investment ideas and is relatively unconstrained by the Benchmark’s industry or company weights.

Antares follows a bottom-up investment process, which means investment decisions are made by undertaking in-depth proprietary research and analysis of individual companies and securities.
In general, Antares aims to invest in companies where the current share price does not fully reflect its view of the potential value of each company's business. Through company contact and detailed financial and non-financial analysis, Antares’ research analysts seek to gain a thorough understanding of Australian companies and the industries in which they operate.

Antares may invest up to 10% of the Fund in companies listed outside of the S&P/ASX 200 Total Return Index. This may include investments in equities expected to be listed on the Australian share market. Securities held by the Fund may sometimes move into the S&P/ASX 20 Total Return Index and when this happens the investment manager will use its discretion to sell down that security, having regard to the best interests of unitholders. In this way, the Fund may hold securities in the S&P/ASX 20 Index from time to time.

Indicative asset allocation ranges

• Cash and cash equivalents: 0-10%

Use of derivatives

The Fund generally uses derivatives for the purpose of cash management and to minimise investment risk. The Fund will typically use Share Price Index (SPI) contracts which are futures contracts that provide exposure to Australia’s top 200 companies without having to buy or sell shares in every company in the S&P/ASX 200 Total Return Index. Derivatives will not be used within the Fund for gearing purposes.
