Fund OverviewThe Global High Conviction Strategy seeks to outperform the MSCI World Index by 3-5% p.a. over rolling 5 year periods. The Fund invests in companies listed on major global developed market exchanges by combining 'fundamental' analysis with quantitative stock selection tools. There is typically a bias to large caps and a 'value' tilt resulting in higher dividend yield than the index.

The quantitative model is proprietary and designed in-house. The critical elements are Valuation, Momentum, and Quality (VMQ) and every stock in the global universe is scored and ranked. Verification of the quant model scores is then cross checked by fundamental analysis in which a company's Accounting policies, Governance, and Strategic positioning is evaluated.

The manager believes strategy is suited to investors seeking returns from investing in global companies, diversification away from Australia and a risk aware approach to global investing. It should be noted that this is a strategy in an IMA format and is not offered as a fund. An IMA solution can be a more cost and tax effective solution, for clients who wish to own fewer stocks in a long only strategy.
Manager CommentsThe Delft Partners Global High Conviction Strategy rose +8.69% in November, outperforming AFM's Global Equity Index by +1.17% and taking performance since inception in August 2011 to +14.93% p.a. with an annualised volatility of 11.84%. By contrast, the Index has returned +14.00% p.a. with an annualised volatility of 10.55% over the same period.

The Strategy has achieved an average positive monthly return since inception of +3.28% vs the Index's +3.01%. The Strategy's Sharpe and Sortino ratios for performance since inception are 1.07 and 1.95 respectively.

With respect to the Index's 10 best and worst months since the Strategy's inception, the Strategy has outperformed in 9 out of 10 of the Index's best months and 7 out of 10 of the Index's worst months. This highlights the Strategy's capacity to outperform in both rising and falling markets.
