Fund Overview | The overriding objective of the Concentrated Australian Equities Fund is to seek investment opportunities which are under-appreciated and have the potential to deliver positive earnings, while satisfying our stringent quality criteria. Bennelong's investment process combines bottom-up fundamental analysis together with proprietary investment tools which are used to build and maintain high quality portfolios that are risk aware. The portfolio typically consists of 20-35 high-conviction stocks from the S&P/ASX 300 Index. The Fund may invest in securities listed on other exchanges where such securities relate to ASX-listed securities. Derivative instruments are mainly used to replicate underlying positions and hedge market and company specific risks. |
Manager Comments | As at the end of July, the portfolio's weightings had been increased in the Health Care, Materials, Consumer Staples, IT, REIT's, Industrials and Financials sectors. The portfolio is significantly more heavily weighted towards the Discretionary sector than the Benchmark (ASX300 Accumulation Index), with an 'Active Weight' of 20.8%. It is also significantly underweight the Financials sector by comparison with the Benchmark, with an 'Active Weight' of -22.1%. The Fund aims to invest in a concentrated portfolio of high quality companies with strong growth outlooks, underestimated earnings momentum and underestimated prospects. By comparison with the Benchmark, the portfolio's holdings, on average, have a higher return on equity, lower debt/equity, higher sales growth, higher EPS growth, higher price/earnings and lower dividend yield which together indicate that the Fund is in line with its investment objectives. |
