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 +0.54% in September, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +4.2% and taking performance over the September quarter to +13.70% vs the Index's -0.44%. Since inception in June 2017, the Fund has returned +18.70% p.a. vs the Index's annualised return of +4.57%. The Fund's up-capture ratio since inception of 216.6% highlights its strong performance in rising markets, indicating that, on average, the Fund has risen more than twice as much as the market during the market's positive months.

Top contributors in September included Coronado Global Resources, Opticomm, Temple & Webster, People Infrastructure and ARB Corporation. The most notable detractor was Mineral Resources.

Glenmore noted that following five consecutive positive months on the ASX, some form of retraction was not surprising. They continue to be positive on the portfolio's holdings despite the clear health crisis posed by COVID-19 and hold the view that most governments are realising living with the virus is the most logical way forward. They also believe fiscal and monetary policy remains supportive to stocks and is likely to remain accommodative for the foreseeable future.
