| Fund Overview | The investment team looks for industrial businesses that are simple to understand; they generally avoid large caps, pure mining, biotech and start-ups. They also look for: - Access to management; - Businesses with a competitive edge; - Profitable companies with good margins, organic growth prospects, strong market position and a track record of healthy dividend growth; - Sectors with structural advantage and barriers to entry; - 15% p.a. pre-tax compound return on each holding; and - A history of stable and predictable cash flows that DS Capital can understand and value. |
| Manager Comments | The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios (since inception), 1.14 and 1.66 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.48 and Sortino of 0.54, highlight its capacity to produce superior risk-adjusted returns while avoiding the market's downside volatility. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios for performance over the past 12 months, 133% and 73% respectively, indicate that, on average, the Fund has outperformed in both rising and falling markets. The Fund's ability to significantly outperform in falling markets is further supported by its down-capture ratio (since inception) of 45%. |
