Our Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund offers exposure to forward-looking companies by investing in a portfolio of stocks that sit outside the S&P/ASX 20. This delivers more diversity, superior returns and strong growth potential over the medium to long term.
Focusing on the Ex-20 universe of stocks provides us with greater opportunities to exploit inefficiencies that deliver higher total returns with less volatility than the ASX 20.
The Fund offers a cost-effective core building block to supplement a typical portfolio, with high exposure to the top 20 companies dominated by financials and resources.
The Ex-20 Index offers investment opportunities across an even spread of sectors. This provides access to daily liquidity and a diverse, balanced investment universe.
Our strong and consistent risk-adjusted returns are the result of our differentiated portfolios, which we build using proprietary research and a portfolio construction process that balances risk and reward.
Insight-driven stock picking
Our large team of experts undertake rigorous fundamental and bottom-up qualitative research. They examine the financial positioning, management quality and industry outlook of companies across different sectors to uncover sources of alpha.
Disciplined risk management
To avoid concentration risk and maximise flexibility, no holding represents more than 5% of the portfolio. We limit overweight stock positions to below 15% and sector positions to less than 20% of total risk within the portfolio.²
Balanced portfolio construction
To deliver a consistent performance through market cycles, we apply a balanced approach without a growth or value bias. The use of short and long-dated ideas means we can capture opportunities across different timeframes and thoroughly assess risk and reward on every stock.
Higher returns.
