FACTSHEET

SFDR DISCLOSURE
30-Nov-2024 - Paul Greene, Portfolio Manager,
With the US Federal Reserve starting its interest rate cutting cycle, the lower cost of capital should prove stimulative for most businesses and be supportive of growth initiatives. Lower yields for fixed income products should also make equities relatively more attractive, providing a more favourable backdrop for investors to take on more risk.

Overview

Fund Summary
Through fundamental analysis, we search for companies that can deliver strong growth in earnings and free cash flow on a durable basis. We want to invest in high-quality companies with leading market positions in fertile growth fields. We are attentive to valuations and aim to avoid overpaying for growth, while broadly diversifying the portfolio. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.
Performance - Net of Fees
30-Nov-2024 - Paul Greene, Portfolio Manager,
Major US stock indices rose in November. As measured by various Russell indices, small-cap equities outperformed their mid- and large-cap peers. Growth outperformed value across all market capitalisations. Within the portfolio, financials had the most negative impact due to unfavourable stock picks and an underweight allocation. Here, our position in a property and casualty (P&C) insurer was a major detractor as its shares came under pressure as investors digested the potential impacts of Hurricane Milton on the P&C space. Industrials and business services also hurt relative performance due to an underweight position and adverse security choices. The machinery industry was a notable source of weakness within the sector. Alternatively, an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, the best-performing segment in the benchmark during the month, contributed. Security selection in the information technology sector also assisted relative results, led by our holding in a multi-channel commerce platform whose shares surged following its quarterly earnings release, which included accelerating revenue growth, strong operating leverage, and a better-than-expected outlook for the fourth quarter.
31-Jan-2024 - Paul Greene, Portfolio Manager,
From a positioning standpoint, we continue to refrain from taking a pronounced stance on macroeconomic implications, and instead, we are aiming for a balanced approach of ideas that can thrive if the skies continue to clear, as well as defensive positions that can provide downside support. Similarly, predicting election outcomes and subsequent market impacts is not an area of focus at this stage; however, as political agendas come into focus and the balance of political power crystalises, actionable idiosyncratic investment opportunities may present themselves.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Hedged share classes (denoted by 'h') utilise investment techniques to mitigate currency risk between the underlying investment currency(ies) of the fund and the currency of the hedged share class.  The costs of doing so will be borne by the share class and there is no guarantee that such hedging will be effective.

Benchmark: Investors may use the benchmark to compare the fund’s performance. The benchmark has been selected because it is similar to the investment universe used by the investment manager and therefore acts as an appropriate comparator. The investment manager is not constrained by any country, sector and/or individual security weightings relative to the benchmark and has complete freedom to invest in securities that do not form part of the benchmark.
