Fund manager in focus: Regal Funds Management
About us
Regal Funds Management is a specialist long/short equities manager, managing over $1.2billion in Funds Under Management and has offices in both Sydney and Singapore. The business has been running since 2004 and has an investment team of 15 people utilising a number of investment strategies which can be predominately classified into a fundamental, research-driven model and a quantitative model.
The Regal Australian Long Short Equity Fund utilises a fundamental investment strategy that aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index net of fees over a rolling five year basis. Regal invests using a disciplined stock selection process, which incorporates key insights from different styles of investing and will invest where there is conviction from more than one source. The Fund has a capacity to short–sell companies and this allows Regal to profit from a share price fall. Regal’s philosophy to short-selling is to have a longer term focus, looking for weak business models and overvalued companies.
Our outlook for the Australian market
The Australian market has had a healthy correction recently, with the Mining sector once again down significantly after posting a mid-year rally. International investors have been selling Australia, worried about further falls in the Australian dollar, coupled with more concerns over the sustainability of the Chinese economy and its flow-through effects on commodity prices and the Australian housing market. Although the falling dollar has a negative impact on the market in the short-term, the longer-term impact is very positive.

Designated charity in focus: Variety – the Children’s Charity
Variety – the Children’s Charity is dedicated to assisting Australian children who are disadvantaged and at risk – whether that be disadvantaged through sickness, disability, location, or socio-economic circumstance.
==> picture [153 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Our mission is to help these children attain their full potential regardless of ability or background, and to empower them to live, laugh, and learn . We do so with the provision of essential equipment and experiences that help develop their life skills, enable them to gain mobility and freedom to get out in the community, be able to communicate, achieve independence, and increase self-esteem.
Variety receives no government funding , so we rely on the generosity of our dedicated volunteers, and individual, corporate and community donors. Our support for Aussie kids regularly fills the gaps left by governments and other organisations.

The Variety Scholarship Program: Investing in Aussie Kids’ futures, like Ayesha
The Variety Scholarship Program supports children who are disadvantaged or living with a disability , helping them achieve their full potential and pursue their dreams . Scholarships of up to $5,000 (per child, per year) are awarded to children who show promise in the areas of the arts, sport, education and music, to cover training costs, equipment, skills based courses and more.

Without Variety’s support, talented pianist, Ayesha may have never gotten the opportunity to further her passion.
At just 9 months old, Ayesha had a challenging start in life, as she was abandoned into the care of her single-income grandmother.
Ayesha’s talent for playing piano was evident from an early age, and despite her grandmother’s devotion (even taking on a second job as a cleaner, so as to afford a piano teacher), her financial circumstances couldn’t afford the specialised training required to explore Ayesha’s talents further.
(Pictured left: Ayesha Gough giving it her all on the piano backed by an orchestra at a recent public performance).
Variety granted Ayesha a scholarship to help further foster her gifted talents, where she spent four years at the Young Conservatorium, honing and developing her piano playing skills. She has gone on to receive a host of accolades, including recently performing at the Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition in Brisbane where she came third, competing against 68 musicians. She is now studying a Bachelor degree in music at Griffith University and has her sights set on becoming a professional pianist.
A Variety Sunshine Coach: A journey to education and overcoming barriers
Variety Sunshine Coaches, transform the lives and educational opportunities for kids who may be disadvantaged by the remoteness of where they live, their socio economic circumstance, or special need or disability which requires specialist transportation. With 31% of Aussie families living in a remote or rural area in Australia , Variety Sunshine Coaches aim to overcome the educational challenges faced by these children, as a result of the tyranny of distance.
Just one of the remote regional communities to benefit from a Variety Sunshine Coach this year was in Bourke, Western NSW. In a school where over 67% of the children are Aboriginal and 30% are in DOC’s care, the Variety Sunshine Coach is changing the future for these children, as it is used to bring them safely to and from school each day from their remote locations, helping to improve school attendance rates. The coach allows these children from a low socio economic background and remote rural households to access a wider education both in and out of the classroom, attend extracurricular activities, community access programs and other activities they would otherwise not be able to partake in.
(Pictured right: In August this year The Variety Bash stopped in to present the school community in Bourke with their much awaited Variety Sunshine Coach)
