Fund OverviewThe Fund is index unaware with an absolute return focus. The Fund seeks to invest in companies generating strong cashflows at attractive valuations. In absence of attractive investments being identified, the fund will hold cash. Glenmore will use a fundamental, research driven investment process to identify undervalued securities.

The main driver of identifying potential investments will be bottom up company analysis, however macro-economic conditions will be considered as part of the investment thesis for each stock.
Manager CommentsThe Glenmore Australian Equities Fund rose +1.41% in July, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +0.91% and taking annualised performance since inception in June 2017 to +15.52% against the Index's annualised return over the same period of +5.13%. The Fund's up-capture ratio for performance since inception of 194.54% indicates that, on average, the Fund has risen almost twice as much as the market during the market's positive months. The Fund's Sharpe ratio of 0.69 versus the Index's 0.33 highlights the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns over the long-term.

Top contributors in July included Mineral Resources and Temple and Webster. Key detractors included Polynovo, Integral Diagnostics and Fiducian Group. Polynovo released a brief trading update in July which was in line with Glenmore's expectations, with the key takeaway being that strong sales growth has continued despite COVID-19 having some impact on opening new accounts.

Glenmore noted the Australian economy continues to be significantly assisted by government stimulus and they see the removal of that stimulus (e.g. JobKeeper and JobSeeker) to be a risk over the next 12-18 months. Despite this, they believe the portfolio's companies are well positioned to navigate the current environment.
