Fund manager in focus: Watermark Funds Management

About us

Watermark is an active, high conviction investor in Australian public companies. As an absolute return investor, Watermark seeks to deliver superior risk adjusted returns while limiting our investors’ exposure to share market risk through the use of hedging strategies.

Watermark was established in 2003 by Justin Braitling and comprises a team of dedicated investment professionals, based in Sydney. With a 10-year track record managing funds on behalf of over 10,000 investors, Watermark is a wellestablished boutique manager and one of only a handful of specialist long/short investors in Australia.

Our investment style

At its heart, our investment philosophy is based on quality and value. By conducting deep, fundamental analysis of public companies, we seek to identify opportunities to buy the shares of good quality companies at attractive prices and short-sell shares of weaker businesses that are overvalued. By constructing well-diversified long and short portfolios, Watermark is able to express a wide range of investment ideas and capture excess returns through stock selection and the identification of sectoral themes.

Long/short investment strategies such as those employed by Watermark are more active in seeking to profit from the mispricing of shares and less reliant on share market appreciation. The investment process provides greater flexibility in managing market risk through the cycle as ‘shorts’ are a natural hedge for the Fund’s investments when share markets fall.

Our market outlook

In general, our outlook for share markets is somewhat circumspect. The low interest rate/low growth environment we find ourselves in will be with us for some time, with demographic and productivity trends and an ever increasing weight of debt impeding companies’ ability to grow profits. Furthermore, there remains for the time being, a dearth of political will required to make the sorts of reforms that might lead to more sustainable economic growth both in Australia and abroad.

Australian companies are not investing to sustain growth and have been paying out more of their earnings to sustain their shareholders’ insatiable thirst for yield. This will have serious implications for many public companies where exorbitant returns on capital invested start to come under pressure from increased competition and changing industry dynamics. We see particular vulnerability in the banking, insurance and consumer staple sectors where large incumbents have enjoyed benign competitive environments and very high returns.

Notwithstanding our cautious view of the market, we continue to find opportunities to invest in high quality companies with solid growth prospects at reasonable prices. Australian companies with international businesses will continue to grow while receiving a benefit from further weakness in the Australian dollar. Healthcare and education are also preferred sectors which are supported by positive demographic trends.

Designated charity in focus: DEBRA Australia

About DEBRA Australia

DEBRA Australia is a not-for-profit volunteer-based organisation that supports kids and families living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a rare disease whereby the skin blisters and peels at the slightest touch. Living with EB has been likened to living with third degree burns.

EB is very painful, and sufferers must be bandaged every day with dressings to protect and medicate their wounds. It is estimated that there are around 1,000 people in Australia who have some form of EB and over 500,000 worldwide.

DEBRA Australia offers support to EB sufferers in variety of ways by:

  • Educating and support families living with EB

  • Investigating and implementing programs to help EB sufferers to improve their care and quality of life

  • Offering financial and emotional support to families

  • Educating health professionals and the general public about EB

  • Raising vital money for research to one day find a cure.

Future Generation Investment Company and DEBRA Australia

DEBRA Australia does not receive any government funding, so the support we will receive from Future Generation Investment Company will greatly impact the families and kids we support.

The programs we can support because of FGX include the EB Nurse program, Family Support Services and research

EB Nurse program

EB Nurses are a vital point of contact for members with EB and especially for new families with an EB baby. To provide a national nursing service to families with children and adults, EB Nurses are required across Australia to act in the capacity of rapid response nurses when new babies are born and to support existing families.

Family Support Services

An essential service provided by DEBRA Australia is the Family Support Service. Our support workers engage closely with families to ensure they have the tools and capacity to access relevant services as provided by government agencies and health service providers. As an intimate support service, it is vital that key family support staff are well versed and qualified to provide these essential services and we are forever faced with the challenge of funding this necessary resource.

Research

DEBRA Australia supports clinical and laboratory based research opportunities in Australia to improve EB services and ultimately find a cure. Research is vital in the ongoing search for a cure.
