Fund strategy
Fund manager(s)
The sub-fund’s main objective is to achieve a long-term capital gain on the capital invested.
The sub-fund will venture to achieve its objective by investing in a portfolio composed of a majority of stocks, other negotiable securities equivalent to stocks or entitling the holder to acquire stocks by way of subscription or exchange, and derivative instruments, where the underlying instrument is a stock or stock index.
Subject to this constraint, the sub-fund’s portfolio may be invested in all other negotiable securities, money market instruments, bank deposits, derivative financial instruments and, up to a maximum of 10% of the sub-fund’s assets, in shares in collective investment undertakings.
The sub-fund’s assets shall be invested in issuers that the manager considers to be undervalued and/or which are out of favour with investors.
The sub-fund will mainly invest in mid caps and large caps.
The manager will manage actively the sub-fund’s foreign exchange risk depending on its projections regarding exchange rate movements. In this context, the manager reserves the right to decide in a dynamic way whether or not to hedge all or part of the foreign exchange risk relating to assets denominated in a currency other than the reference currency of the sub-fund in question (EUR, USD or GBP). For that purpose, the sub-fund may use currency hedging techniques and derivative financial instruments (forward foreign exchange contracts, currency futures, currency options, etc.).
The fund invests in out of favour stocks, sectors and markets. From this unloved universe, companies that are intrinsically undervalued and generally offer one or more triggers for rerating are chosen for investment. One common feature of these stocks is that their return on capital at the time of investment is much below their true potential.
Many of the stocks in which the fund invests have company specific or industry specific issues. Some of the common company specific issues are poor management or some hidden value that can be unlocked. Industry specific issues may be industry overcapacity, too many players competing or simply the industry being on the wrong side of the economic cycle.
The fund actively manages its currency exposure.
Investments are not limited by market cap; the fund will invest in any situation that meets its criteria.
Through the investment process, the fund manager likes to align invested currencies, geographic regions, sectors and stocks such that the fund can benefit from each of these factors. and the alignment acts as another filter which helps to narrow down the investible universe.
The fund does not follow any benchmark as reference for its investment decisions but is aware of it for performance measurement.
Capital preservation
The fund aims to invest in stocks when the manager believes that all the bad news is priced in, thus endeavouring to limit the downside. Each investment is made keeping in mind that it may take 3-4 years to achieve the desired returns.
The portfolio is quite diversified with about 70 stocks. It will typically have about 10 stocks which are full weight, about 20-25 stocks that are growing weights, and the remaining 35-45 stocks are seedlings. Those stocks which, with the passage of time, reinforce the fundamental reasons for holding them and show growing momentum, move from being seedlings, to growing weights, to full weights.
Portfolio Concentration
No investment may represent more than 10% of the total value of a fund. Investments greater than 5% may not total more than 40% of the total value of a fund.
Sectoral diversification
The fund’s approach is to be well diversified sectorally with no more than 25% in any of the 10 MSCI World sectors at any time.
Geographical diversification
No more than 50% of any fund is invested in any of the three Regions: Americas, Europe-Africa and Asia-Pacific.
