Investment strategy

Our strategy is to only allocate capital to high-quality ideas where we have conviction. Our focus is on identifying businesses with a competitive advantage that are well-positioned in attractive end markets to grow free cash flow, at an acceptable margin of safety to valuation. This is done through a rigorous, repeatable and disciplined quality assessment of the company’s earnings, business and management. As part of this we undertake an extensive company visitation program which is important in providing ‘insight’, testing our thinking and developing our highest conviction ideas. We seek to know as much about our companies as possible, with a view to mitigating permanent capital loss and delivering outperformance over the long term.

Investment parameters

The Fund is not bound by indices, allowing us to invest only in those companies that meet the strict investment criteria.  Investments in the Fund will be in a portfolio of up to 30 stocks (with a minimuim of 15 stocks) that are listed on the ASX. Between 80% and 100% of the fund’s exposure will be to Australian equities. Cash levels must not exceed 20%.  Generally, no more than 15% of the portfolio to be held in any one company, but 10% on initial purchase.
