FACTSHEET
KID
31-Jan-2020 - Curt Organt, Co-Portfolio Manager,
We seek to capitalise on opportunities across the broad range of the small- and mid-cap U.S. equity market. Overall, we remain modestly overweight high-quality companies that compound their earnings. We also look for select investments in “deeper-value” opportunities – those stocks that we believe are significantly undervalued – and hold a number of income-oriented dividend growth companies.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We utilise the full opportunity set from deep value to aggressive growth companies; out-of-favour companies with strong potential for improvement, or companies that may appear fully valued, but whose long-term growth potential is underappreciated. Identification of a value creation catalyst is key. 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

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
30-Nov-2024 - Matt Mahon, Portfolio Manager,
Major US stock indices rose in November in the aftermath of former President Donald Trump defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. At the portfolio level, our stock picks in industrials and business services weighed on returns. Shares of a US government information technology services contractor fell sharply amid heightened uncertainty related to government services spending in the wake of the US presidential election. Unfavourable stock picking in health care paired with an overweight exposure also hurt relative returns. Shares of a Medicaid managed care name declined following the revelation that the state of Michigan had notified the company it was terminating its notice of intent, which awarded contracts to provide benefits to Michigan’s Highly Integrated Dual Eligible Needs Medicare population. Conversely, energy contributed to relative performance due to stock selection and an overweight position. Energy was the top performing sector in the portfolio as the sector benefitted from hopes for deregulation and merger approvals under the incoming Trump administration. Our position in a couple of exploration and production companies performed well.
31-Jan-2024 - Matt Mahon, Portfolio Manager,
Industrials and business services, information technology, health care, and financials remain the dominating sectors in the portfolio, all with greater than 10% of the equity allocation. During the month, we found opportunities across the various sectors, including materials. Within the space, we look for well-managed, solidly positioned companies with attractive balance sheets relative to the valuation being paid and prefer growing end markets.

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.
