Fund Overview | 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 Comments | Top contributors in November included Coronado Global Resources (CRN), Worley (WOR), Mineral Resources (MIN), Whitehaven Coal (WHC), NRW Holdings (NWH), Eagers Automotive (APE), People Infrastructure (PPE) and Dicker Data (DDR). In Glenmore's view the most notable story of November was the news of highly encouraging human trial results from several proposed vaccines for COVID-19. They noted that, while it is still early days, they believe the early results show clear progress towards a pathway back to more normal economic conditions. They observed that this was enough to see sectors with exposure to a global recovery rally sharply (e.g. travel, energy, resources, shopping centres and mining services), at the expense of sectors that benefitted from lockdown conditions (internet, certain retailers, and gold stocks). |

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), 1.19 and 1.75 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.56 and Sortino of 0.66, 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, 117.8% and 72.9% respectively, indicate that, on average, the Fund has outperformed in both the market's positive and negative months. The Fund's ability to significantly outperform in falling markets is further supported by its down-capture ratio (since inception) of 45%. |
