FACTSHEET

SFDR DISCLOSURE
30-Sep-2024 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
We believe we are moving away from an efficient global economy, as countries focus on localising supply chains and protecting their intellectual capital and energy supplies. Despite increased volatility, we think there are numerous positives that mean 2025 could be a good environment for stock selection, and we are encouraged by the recent broadening of market returns.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We look for companies that we believe have the potential for improving economic returns in the future and that we can buy at an attractive price. In a world of secular change, this means understanding the forces enhancing or erasing durable competitive advantage to correctly identify the winners and losers ahead of the market. 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.

30-Sep-2024 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
Global equities managed to deliver positive returns in September. While volatility persisted across global markets, driven by heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty, the US Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates for the first time in four years helped lift equity returns into broadly positive territory. Within the portfolio, health care names, coupled with an overweight position, detracted the most from relative returns. Shares a Danish pharmaceutical firm came under some pressure in September as investors reacted negatively to news that its latest obesity treatment had shown less effectiveness in higher doses. We trimmed our position but still think the company is well positioned to benefit from the accelerating popularity and penetration of GLP-1 drugs. On the positive side, our holdings in consumer discretionary helped relative performance. An electric vehicle maker rose in September. Investors appeared encouraged by a number of data points, including easing concerns over tariffs, optimism over the firm’s full self driving updates, and rising confidence that the global economy would achieve a soft landing and could see a recovering consumer amid lower inflation. We continue to believe the firm is a high-quality company with structural cost, technology, and cultural advantages that should enable it to continue to disrupt the automotive industry.
31-Dec-2023 - David Eiswert, Portfolio Manager,
We are underweight consumer staples as we feel that many companies are losing their traditional distribution strength. We also find the sector broadly expensive. Recently, we meaningfully reduced our allocation here and are being very selective about what we own, especially given the rising use of GLP-1 obesity drugs that could pressure demand for food staples. We are focused on high-quality companies with low debt that we think can deliver volume growth and margin expansion with a mix of durable growth companies and more idiosyncratic ideas that we believe are on the right side of change or currently out of favour.
