Fund manager in focus: Regal Funds Management

About us

Regal Funds Management is a specialist long/short equities manager, managing over $1.5 billion 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 14 people. Regal offers a number of investment strategies which are predominately classified into a fundamental, research-driven model, and also offers strategies using a quantitative model.

Our investment style

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 on short-selling is to have a longer term focus, looking for weak business models and overvalued companies.

Our market outlook

The reduction of bond yields to record lows in Australia makes the stock market look good value in comparison. Interest rate cuts in the coming months and further weakness in the Australian dollar could be the catalysts to drive the market higher. We have the largest overweights in sectors like Healthcare and Financials where earnings will be least affected by a weak economy. Conversely the largest shorts are in Mining and Mining Services where we believe profit warnings and disappointments are very likely.

Designated charity in focus: Australian Indigenous Education Foundation

What is Australian Indigenous Education Foundation?

==> picture [193 x 82] intentionally omitted <==

The Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) is a private sector-led, non-profit organisation focused on empowering Indigenous children to build a brighter future for themselves and for the nation.

AIEF provides scholarships, which enable Indigenous students to attend some of Australia’s leading schools and universities, as well as mentoring and career support to ensure students make a successful transition from school to further studies or employment, productive careers and fulfilling lives.

AIEF is proud to be supported by the Future Generation Investment Company and its shareholders and investment partners. FGX funding will help us reach our goal of building a $140 million fund that will open the doors to leading schools and universities for 7,000 Indigenous students. AIEF has supported 230 secondary and tertiary graduates to date and 93% of students supported by our scholarship program stay at school, complete Year 12 and make the transition into productive career pathways.

Meet Frank

Frank Lowah graduated Year 12 in 2010 and is a current AIEF Tertiary Scholarship Student. As a 16 year old in Cairns, Queensland, Frank looked forward to becoming a fisherman like a father. Now 22, Frank is working towards a career in diplomacy and politics after completing Year 12 at St Peters Lutheran College on an AIEF Scholarship.

During Year 12, Frank completed work experience in the Canberra office of his local MP through AIEF and developed an interest in the world of politics: “Talking to him [then Member for Leichhardt, Jim Turnour] and seeing how he operated to help the people of my local electorate and seeing how human he was really inspired me to think I could do this.”

The experience led to job with then NSW Senator (and AIEF Ambassador) Mark Arbib’s office, where he spent his gap year before commencing a Bachelor of International Studies at the University of Queensland in 2012.

As a busy third-year student, Frank is dedicated to supporting younger Indigenous students by hosting tours of Emmanuel College, and he said hosting a group of AIEF Scholarship Students at his college was an amazing experience.

“I wanted to show them that uni is not just about being stressed all the time,” Frank said. “It’s also about studying something you really enjoy. I couldn’t imagine being here without AIEF so it was so good to give someone else the opportunity that was given to me.”
