Fund/Strategy Overview:
L1 Capital Long Short Fund is an absolute return strategy launched in 2014 that offers investors a highly flexible, absolute return-orientated portfolio of long and short positions based on L1 Capital's fundamental bottom-up research process. The Fund's objective is to deliver a net return of at least 10% p.a. to investors with considerably less market risk and volatility (on average) and invests primarily in Australian equities with up to 30% in international shares. The portfolio typically comprises 50-100 positions across a wide range of sectors and themes. The investment team, led by L1 Capital Co-Founders/co-CIOs, Mark Landau and Raphael Lamm, combines valuation (primarily discounted cash flow) with qualitative considerations (management quality, long-term industry and company structure and business trends) to identify attractive investment opportunities. The core of the investment approach is a high level of interaction with a wide range of market participants. Investors can access the strategy through an Australian Listed Investment Company, Australian Unit Trust or a Cayman vehicle.
