Fund manager in focus: LHC Capital
About us
LHC Capital is an absolute return focused hedge fund established in 2012 by
==> picture [152 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
Stephen Aboud and Marcus Hughes, based in Sydney. LHC manages its investments through a single vehicle, The Australia High Conviction Fund, available to both onshore and offshore family offices and high net worth individuals on a referral basis. Since inception the Fund has compounded at 23.6% per annum. Directors of LHC are personally invested in the Fund. LHC currently manages over $170 million and is targeting closing to new investors at $250 million.
Our investment style
The two guiding principles that underpin LHC’s investment style are conviction investing and capital preservation. LHC believes that there are very few truly outstanding investment opportunities available at any one time, and LHC seeks to identify and concentrate its capital into these opportunities. To identify and evaluate these opportunities, LHC utilises a heavily research driven approach to understanding companies and the industry structures in which they operate, with a view to forecasting cash generation on a three to five year view. LHC sees more opportunity to exploit market inefficiencies at the small and mid cap end of the market and on a longer rather than shorter term investment horizon basis. Where valuation makes sense, LHC will seek to be long structural winners and short structural losers.
Our market outlook
Much is written by many market commentators on the state of the market and the many factors that may drive it higher or lower. LHC does not have any sustainable advantage in being able to call markets better than others, and so we choose not to play this game. Rather, LHC believes it does have sustainable advantage in being able to better forecast the future cash earnings of a business, and seek to own those businesses that can grow their cash flows in any market environment, and short sell those who will suffer from declining cash flows.

Designated charity in focus: Youth Off the Streets
Future Generation Investment and Youth Off The Streets
==> picture [186 x 61] intentionally omitted <==
Youth Off The Streets is a non-denominational community organisation working for young people who are homeless, drug dependent, and recovering from abuse. We support these young people turn their lives around and overcome immense personal traumas many of us can’t imagine – such as neglect and physical and psychological abuse. We offer a full continuum of care through our 35+ services.
We are delighted to be supported by FGX, its shareholders and partners. FGX funding will help us achieve our mission: helping disconnected young people discover greatness within, by engaging, supporting and providing opportunities to encourage and facilitate positive life choices.
Your funding will enable us to support many more young people, just like Daniel*
Daniel ran away from home at 14, after years of watching his father beating his mother. At six years of age, Daniel found her unconscious and thought she was dead. He spent over a year living on the streets, until we found him through our Street Walk program. At that stage he was drinking a bottle of bourbon a day.
We housed him in our crisis accommodation service, and enrolled him in one of our four high schools. He entered our drug and alcohol rehabilitation program and accessed our psychological support services. After achieving his HSC at our school, Daniel went on to TAFE to study aged care nursing. Daniel now lives independently after completing a Bachelor of Nursing at university with the help of our Scholarships program.
As shareholders of FGX, you are enabling us to continue to help young people like Daniel discover their greatness and break the cycle of poverty and abuse. Our work can only be achieved through community support and FGX is a unique example of how shareholders can make an impact in the support of our services.
