Investment Strategy
==> picture [119 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
-
Structure - all three directors are actively involved in idea generation, research and investment selection.
-
An investment idea must be supported by at least two directors to be added to the portfolio.
-
We are open to a wide investment universe and seek to build a relatively concentrated portfolio of our best 5 to 20 ideas. This will generally include exposure to domestic and global equities.
-
We actively seek out arbitrage opportunities, particularly when markets appear to be fully valued.
5. Opportunistic with an absolute return focus
7
Investment Strategy
==> picture [119 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
-
We are opportunistic, value orientated, risk aware and index unaware.
-
We do not feel compelled to be fully invested through the cycle.
-
Rather we will be inclined to selectively increase exposure during periods of market weakness and trim positions by profit taking when markets appear expensive.
-
Liquidity is a consideration for us, however in managing a smaller pool of funds we may be able to participate in opportunities that others are simply too large to take advantage of in a meaningful way.
-
We will participate in IPOs and Placements where we see value and where we can obtain allocations.
8
Investment Strategy
==> picture [119 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
Focus on overall return to shareholders
-
The size of the company requires us to be conscious of costs
-
Investment management is in house, reducing costs
-
Our focus is on Total Return including the accrual of franking credits, a benefit that is often overlooked within investment mandates
-
Portfolio reporting in house, reducing costs
-
Typically pay 0.05% brokerage
-
The company is unlikely to need to pay tax for some time, we carry a significant Deferred Tax Asset of 9c
9
Investment Strategy
==> picture [119 x 106] intentionally omitted <==
Why haven’t we returned capital to shareholders?
-
We stated in the initial Notice of Meeting in 2019 that we would “return the maximum amount of capital to shareholders”
-
Impractical while funding for litigation likely to be required
-
Investors looking to exit have had the opportunity at prices close to NTA net of winding up costs over the last year
-
The company self insures as an alternative to costly D&O insurance
