*Performance is reported net of all fees. Returns greater than one year are annualized. Historical performance shows the ongoing performance both of a different fund previously managed by the AL Capital that operated with the same strategy and investment management team as the ALC Active Australian Equities Fund. This information has been provided for illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
The Investment Management approach is based on fundamentals and driven by the intrinsic value of its stock positions. AL Capital employs a combination of in-depth top-down and bottom-up research to construct the high-conviction part of the portfolio. To achieve the desired net market exposure, as well as for risk control, an actively traded long-short component is combined with the high-conviction component. This way the manager aims to achieve positive returns regardless of overall market direction. For the high-conviction part, a team of experienced analysts is employed to conduct in-depth company research with a longer term (3-4 year) view, which leads to the establishment of a fair value estimate and target price. If the corresponding upside is sufficiently large, the stock will be included in the portfolio. The actively traded part draws on the same research effort, but focuses more on short-term movements, risk control, and the achievement of the overall target net exposure. For example, if the target net exposure is 50% of NAV, the actively traded part of the portfolio will short a number of stocks such that the net exposure of the portfolio is 50% of NAV. On occasion Derivatives can be used to achieve the same outcome. The combined portfolio is reviewed, discussed and, if necessary, updated in the weekly portfolio review meeting, with a view to target net exposure, risk parameters, stock parameters, and the market and macro environment.
The ALC Active Australian Equities Fund is a combination of 2 strategies:
The high-conviction strategy adopts a long-term, fundamental approach to selecting stocks and offers investors exposure to a high conviction portfolio of ASX listed companies that AL Capital believe will deliver excess returns over the long term. AL Capital’s team of analysts conducts in-depth research on potential investments. They make forecasts and set a target price for stocks under their coverage. Stock ideas are debated in weekly portfolio review meetings. After rigorous debate the idea is either approved, rejected, or sent back for further analysis. The portfolio managers construct the portfolio, using as input the target prices of approved stocks as set by the analysts, along with their level of conviction, as well as market data on volatility and liquidity. They are guided by a proprietary tool that optimizes the combined risk-reward trade-off of all approved investment ideas at any given time. The portfolio is monitored continually. Stop-loss triggers are in place that lead to review and possible exit of any position.
The short term strategy has two functions:
The short term portfolio will also draw upon research done by the analysts to identify stock ideas, potential catalysts, etc. Position sizing is driven by the target overall portfolio positioning. The portfolio is monitored continually. Stop-loss triggers are in place that lead to review and possible exit of any position.
