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 Global High Conviction Strategy has risen +25.12% over the past 12 months, outperforming AFM's Global Equity Index by +1.9% and taking annualised performance since inception in August 2011 to +15.95% vs the Index's +14.34%. The Strategy returned -0.93% in April.

The Strategy's Sharpe and Sortino ratios (since inception) are 1.14 and 2.15 respectively, highlighting its capacity to achieve good risk-adjusted returns while avoiding the market's downside volatility. The Strategy has an average positive monthly return of +3.38% and an average negative monthly return of -2.03%.

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 6 out of 10 of the Index's worst months, highlighting its capacity to outperform in both rising and falling markets.
