Fund Overview | The Fund aims to produce returns after management fees and expenses of RBA Cash Rate + 4.0-5.0% p.a. over rolling five-year periods. Furthermore, the Fund aims to achieve these returns with volatility that is a fraction of the Australian equity market, in order to smooth returns for investors. |
Manager Comments | The Fund's capacity to protect investors' capital in falling and volatile markets is highlighted by the following statistics (since inception): Sortino ratio of 1.20 vs the Index's 0.66, maximum drawdown of -7.03% vs the Index's -20.65%, and down-capture ratio of 13.25%. NWQ emphasised the Fund is constructed to be an alternative to the traditional balanced fund comprised of stocks and bonds. Since the Fund's inception over eight years ago it has outperformed the typical balanced fund investor objective of RBA Cash + 4.0-5.0% on an annualised basis. These returns have been achieved with a modest net exposure to the stock market and minimal exposure to bond market. NWQ believe the Fund continues to present a compelling alternative to the traditional balanced fund construct. |
