Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund Class B

The primary objective of the Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund (APAEF) is to provide investors with strong capital growth and lower than market volatility, over any 5 year plus investment period.

The Fund is a long-bias equity market product which typically buys, or short sells, Australian listed securities. Cash, cash equivalents, convertible notes, derivatives and securities in respect of which listing has been proposed are also used within the strategy.

Key features of the Fund

• Share market-type returns, with lower than share market-type volatility.
• Investment Safety with money held in trust.
• No minimum investment time-frame.
• Bi-annual distributions.
• Professionally managed by our team of Australian share specialists.
• Online reporting.
• Regular performance commentary and reviews.
• No exit fees.

The Investment Manager believes that markets are fundamentally inefficient resulting in mispriced securities and that active investment management will result in higher than ‘benchmark’ returns.

The Fund has adopted the S&P/ASX200 Accumulation Index as the benchmark for its performance. The Investment Manager also believes that, on review of many markets globally, no individual style or method of investing will always ensure outperformance in terms of return on investment.

In light of this, the Investment Manager will adopt a style-neutral bias adapting to the dominant style dependant on where the market is in its investment cycle. Further, the Investment Manager believes that actual and forecasted events underpin absolute and relative price movements of securities.

The Fund’s strategy is a Long/Short strategy with variable net market exposure between 0-100%.

The typical asset classes held by the fund include cash and cash equivalent financial products, Australian listed shares and other equity like securities and exchange traded derivatives. The Fund may have up to 100% of its NAV invested in Long positions and up to 100% of its NAV invested in Short Positions subject to the net market exposure range of 0-100%.

The Investment Manager utilises a number of frameworks to assist in positioning the Fund’s portfolio of investments. Graphically, this is represented below:

The investment process incorporates four key aspects:

• Fundamental analysis – for underlying stock selection
• Events – the identification of investment catalysts
• Quantitative analysis – for entry and exit; and
• Macroeconomic assessment – for managing portfolio exposures.

 Whilst stock selection is the key driver of returns, a material proportion of the overall value-add is also sourced from asset allocation/risk management decisions, which are mainly implemented with the use of index futures hedges.
