FACTSHEET
KID
SFDR DISCLOSURE
30-Sep-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
Strategy
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-Sep-2024 - Paul Greene, Portfolio Manager,
Major US stock market indices rose in September, capping a solid third quarter. As measured by various Russell indices, mid-cap equities performed best, followed by large-caps and small-caps. Growth outperformed value across all market capitalisations. Within the portfolio, an overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, the best-performing segment in the benchmark, contributed to relative results. Financials also added value due to favourable security choices and an underweight allocation. Here, our position in a large electronic payments company led returns as its shares rose modestly, outperforming the broader sector. Communication services further boosted relative performance, thanks to our overweight position and stock picks. In particular, shares of our position in a social media company climbed alongside the broader large-cap technology space following the Federal Reserve’s announcement that it would be reducing interest rates by 50 basis points. Alternatively, health care detracted due to stock selection, driven by our holding in a large pharmaceutical company that underperformed after a peer posted disappointing data for its early-stage oral obesity drug. Security selection in the information technology sector, particularly within the software industry, also hurt relative returns.
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.
