*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 Market Neutral Australian Equities Fund. This information has been provided for illustrative purposes only. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future returns.
The Fund uses a combination of factors to rank stocks according to their attractiveness. Currently, these factors relate to stock momentum, earnings momentum, value, quality, and cyclicality, but they could be updated in future algorithm upgrades. The resulting ranking is used to construct a portfolio by choosing long positions from the top of the list and short positions from the bottom. In this portfolio construction process, certain constraints are applied: there are limits on the number of stocks per sector, size of single-stock long position, size of single-stock short position, among others. The algorithm strives to attain as close to a sector-neutral position across all sectors as the ranking list permits. The algorithm is run and the portfolio is rebalanced once a month. No trading takes place during the month unless a previously defined stop-loss provision is triggered.
The parameters that define the strategy in more detail are set out in the table below. These parameters are set by the Investment Committee and may be amended from time to time.
