Fund OverviewThe Fund will invest in a diversified portfolio of small to large cap Australian listed securities, and securities in respect of which listing has been proposed. Cash, cash equivalents, convertible notes and derivatives may also be included.

The primary objective of the Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund is to generate a mixture of capital and income returns for investors with a high risk profile, over a 5 to 7 year investment period.

The Investment Manager believes that markets are fundamentally inefficient and that active investment management will result in higher than 'benchmark' returns. The Fund has adopted the S&P/ASX200 Accumulation Index as the benchmark for its performance. The Investment Manager also believes that, on review of many markets globally, no individual style or method of investing will always ensure outperformance in terms of return on investment.

In light of this, the Investment Manager may adopt a 'value', 'growth' or 'momentum' style bias, for example, depending on where the market is in its investment cycle. Further, the Investment Manager believes that actual and forecasted events underpin absolute and relative price movements of securities.

The Investment Manager will utilise a number of frameworks to assist in positioning the Fund's portfolio of investments. These include fundamental research, quantitative analysis, and macro and catalyst research.
Manager CommentsThe Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund has risen +18.98% over the past 12 months, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by 28.85%. Since inception in June 2013, the Fund has returned +8.27% p.a. versus the Index's annualised return over the same period of +7.02%.

The Fund's capacity to protect investors' capital in falling markets is highlighted by the following statistics (since inception): Sortino ratio of 1.33 vs the Index's 0.49, average negative monthly return of -1.51% vs the Index's -3.10%, maximum drawdown of -8.07% vs the Index's -26.75%, and down-capture ratio of 25.96%.
