The Montaka Global Long Only Fund is highly focussed on investing in long-term winners in attractive transforming markets when they are undervalued and offer outsized return potential.

 

The Fund aims to outperform the Index, net of fees, over the long-term. Investors can invest and redeem daily at net asset value plus/minus a small spread by applying and redeeming directly with the Fund.

  • Unlisted managed fund
  • Concentrated portfolio of typically 15-30 long positions
  • Long-term capital growth
  • Inception July 2015

Significant features

The Fund typically invests in a high conviction portfolio of 15 to 30 stocks listed on major global stock exchanges. The Fund’s objective is to outperform the MSCI World Net Total Return Index, in Australian Dollars, over a rolling 5 year period, net of fees. Returns are not guaranteed.


Significant benefits

There are many benefits of investing in The Fund. Some of the significant benefits include:

  • the potential to generate capital growth over the medium to longer term as well as income from its investment in globally listed stocks
  • access to the investment expertise of Montaka Global
  • access to a proprietary approach to fundamental research
  • access to a high conviction portfolio of listed global companies that individual investors usually cannot achieve
  • generally, you can add to or withdraw your investment daily
  • the right to receive any distributions we make from The Fund and
  • having clear legal rights through a robust corporate governance structure.

The Fund aims to provide investors with long term capital growth through a portfolio of quality global shares and to outperform the MSCI World Net Total Return Index, in Australian Dollars over a rolling 5-year period, net of fees.


Note the investment return objective is not intended to be a forecast. It is merely an indication of what The Fund aims to achieve over the medium to longer term on the assumption that equity markets remain relatively stable throughout the investment term. The Fund may not be successful in meeting this objective. Returns are not guaranteed.


Montaka Global has developed a proprietary approach to fundamental research to help achieve the investment return objective.

The Fund will generally hold shares listed on the major global stock exchanges and some cash. The portfolio allocation will generally be:

 

Target Range

Assets  Lower  Higher  Typical
Global shares  80%   100% 95%
Cash  0%  20%  5%

 

Montaka Global adjusts the investment mix within the target ranges above. The “typical” position is where Montaka Global aims to have The Fund invested given a fairly valued investment market. All other things being equal, the “typical” position would be the investment mix of The Fund.

 

The cash component of the portfolio may be allowed to build to a level of 20% during periods when the Montaka Global investible universe is unappealing in terms of margin of safety or in anticipation of extreme market dislocation. Montaka Global may also contemplate protecting the value of The Fund by, for example, buying put options over the major global stock exchange indices.


Remember the investment mix can change within the ranges significantly and sometimes quickly.

The Montaka Global Long Only Fund will typically invest in an all-cap portfolio of 15 to 30 high quality businesses listed on major global stock exchanges with a focus on North America, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.

 

If an insufficient number of individual company names are appealing in terms of the prevailing share price relative to the Montaka Global’s assessment of their intrinsic value, we may consider the overall market ‘expensive’ and in an effort to preserve the market value of the portfolio, may allow the cash component of the portfolio to build.

 

The component of The Fund that can be held in cash  has a hard limit of 20% of funds under management.

 

Montaka Global may, on occasion, hedge the Fund against movements in the Australian Dollar and other currencies, but the default position is to remain unhedged.

Montaka Global Long Only Fund is an unlisted managed fund that issues you with units. Montaka Global Long Only Equities Fund (ASX:MOGL) is a listed fund, quoted on the ASX, and issue investors with units that can be traded at any time through an online trading account or through a stock broker.

 

While they are completely different trusts under separate investment vehicles, both funds share the same common investment strategy and we expect that performance will closely follow the equivalent listed Montaka Global Long Only Equities Fund (ASX:MOGL), as it maintains the same investment strategy, investment process and substantially the same portfolio.

A minimum initial investment of $25,000 is required.

 

You may also arrange to add to your initial investment through a lump sum additional investment, for which there is a minimum of $1,000, or direct debit monthly savings plan, requiring a minimum investment of $500 per month. This is processed on the 15th of each month or the next business day.
