About us
Paradice Investment Management has been going for 15 years and manages over $8 billion. It manages $7 billion in Australian equities spread across three products: large cap, mid cap and small cap. It also manages $1 billion in global small and mid size companies. This is managed by four people based out of America and 18 people in the Australian operation and head office.

The philosophy of the firm is to preserve capital and deliver excess risk-adjusted returns by investing in cheap companies managed well by good operators. We do not specialize in investment sectors but look for where the best value is in the Australian stock market.
Our outlook for the Australian market
The Australian growth outlook remains modest. So far, very low interest rates have mainly resulted in higher property prices rather than the desired broader improvement in economic activity. Consumer sentiment generally remains soft. Despite the lower AUD, there is little optimism that the non-resource economy is going to materially accelerate any time soon, post the peak of the commodity boom.
The Australian sharemarket traded on a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 14.4x at the end of the quarter to 30 September 2014, with consensus expecting around 4% earnings growth next financial year. In the context of a low bond yield environment, the market’s valuation looks reasonable. However, we feel already modest earnings growth is set to be downgraded, as lower commodity prices and underwhelming industrial earnings flow through.
Some of the stocks we have bought and why
Caltex (ASX: CTX): A strong performance in the retail market and the refinery shutdown is running to plan
Cochlear Limited (ASX: COH): New products are gaining traction and foreign exchange changes provide future potential.
Tabcorp Holdings Limited (ASX: TAH): Wagering growth is coming through and holding margin with the move to online and fixed odds.

Designated charity in focus: Raise
Raise Foundation Overview
Raise Foundation is a registered Australian charity which provides mentoring programs for young people facing profound challenges including mental health, substance misuse, and sexual health issues. These are very real and worrying threats to the health of Australian youth. We improve the lives of young people in our
==> picture [142 x 101] intentionally omitted <==
community by providing school and community based mentoring programs and personal development workshops. We put into practise the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. We have provided accredited mentors for over 1,034 struggling young Australians since inception, and we have trained 707 volunteers from the community in our TAFE accredited mentor training program. This year alone, we are mentoring almost 300 struggling young Australians across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Supporting Raise provides strong social returns…
We offer two main mentoring programs, one for boys and girls in high school called Ismo and one for young pregnant or parenting girls called Bump. Last year, Ismo mentees’ academic achievement more than doubled after receiving mentoring with Raise and their school attendance increased by almost 50%. Bump mentees’ coping strategies and confidence grew by almost 30%, as did their ability to identify and achieve smart goals. The ripple effect from Raise mentoring not only reaches our mentees, but also their families, workplaces and communities. Professional mentoring skills are of value across all facets of life.
…and addresses major youth concerns
-
Suicide is the leading cause of death amongst 14-25 year olds in Australia
-
1 in 4 young Australians live with a mental illness
-
1 in 5 Australian kids will be victims of sexual abuse before they turn 18
-
23% of 12-17 year olds consume alcohol weekly
-
Australia has the fourth highest rate of teenage pregnancy in the developed world
-
Only 13% of males and 31% of females ages 16-24 will seek professional help

What direct impact can you make for your contribution?
Raise programs are conducted within a clearly defined budget. Many of our program costs are subsidised due to running them alongside existing Raise Foundation programs and by the generosity of our network of volunteer mentors. It costs Raise Foundation $15,000 to conduct an Ismo program for up to 15 students for one year, and $20,000 to conduct a Bump program for up to 20 young mums for one year. This demonstrates a cost as little as $1,000 per mentee to participate in a Raise program for a whole year with a guarantee of improving relationships, advancing coping strategies, increasing confidence, teaching how to set and achieve smart goals, engaging with education and preparing for employment.
Demand for our services continues to grow, and we meet those requirements with strength. Raise is proud that we conduct our programs with a very small budget compared to other mentoring programs, and that we reach just as many vulnerable young people, often more. We maintain this level of control of our expenses to ensure value for the donated dollar for our investors. This, and the fact that we are professional, fresh and innovative in our approach, ensures that we are a viable option for funding, and a place of preference for volunteers.
Raise is very grateful and excited to be a part of the Future Generation Investment Fund.
