The Baza High Conviction Fund is a long only small-cap fund targeting undervalued emerging companies on the ASX.
The Fund actively targets and invests in companies with the ability to generate sustainable, long-term shareholder returns.
The Fund utilises a comprehensive responsible investment framework that has generated a concentrated portfolio (typically 25-35 companies).
We believe there is significant opportunity for heightened long-term returns through investing in future facing industries. Examples of some of the future facing industries that we focus on (non-exhaustive):
- Healthcare
- Education
- Electrification minerals
- Renewable energy
- Carbon mitigation
- Such industries have tailwinds due to the likelihood of government and regulatory support, accentuated flows of capital, and other idiosyncratic long term macro trends.
The Fund has a high risk, high return profile. It aims to materially outperform its Benchmark (the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index) over a 3 to 5 year period.
The Fund is open to wholesale investors and available on the HUB24 platform.
- Direct involvement in fossil fuel exploration, development, and production (includes all forms of hydrocarbons, including oil, gas, coal and tar sands)
- Provision of significant services to fossil fuel industry (no investment if 25%+ of revenue or operational focus)
- Operates in a carbon intensive industry without appropriate carbon mitigation, reporting or transition plans
- Primary operations relate to gambling
- Direct revenue from destruction of ecosystems
- Direct revenue from carbon intensive agriculture (such as cattle herding) (no investment if 25%+ of revenue or operational focus)
- Direct revenue from animal cruelty (including live animal export, not including reasonable levels of animal testing on medical grounds)
- Direct revenue from old growth logging
- Direct revenue from development of military technology and development, manufacturing and maintenance of armaments (weapons or machines that can be used in armed combat to kill or injure, such as guns, explosives, drones and nuclear weapons)
- Direct revenue from production and manufacture of tobacco, tobacco-based products and nicotine alternatives (such as vaping products)
