Long equities – investing in a portfolio of equities based on the expectation that the underlying equities will increase in value within a certain time horizon. Each equity represents an ownership claim in an underlying company which is generally listed on a public stock exchange. Market neutral – an investment strategy that generally involves the simultaneous purchase and sale of equities, to generate returns that are not linked to the performance of underlying equity markets.
Absolute bias – an investment strategy that seeks to generate returns, irrespective of the performance of traditional asset classes. These strategies use innovative investment techniques to profit from rising and falling markets, providing portfolio protection in the event an equity market experiences a significant fall.

Fund manager in focus: L1 Capital
==> picture [166 x 51] intentionally omitted <==
L1 Capital is a specialist equity fund manager established in Melbourne in 2007. The firm has offices in Melbourne and New York and has established a reputation for investment excellence. L1 Capital manages money for a range of clients including large superannuation funds, financial planning groups, asset consultants, family offices and high net worth individuals. L1 Capital is 100% owned by its employees.
Our investment style
L1 Capital conducts detailed, fundamental, bottom-up stock research. The investment team has a modest value and contrarian bias. The key investment criteria focus on free cash flow generation along with an assessment of three qualitative factors – management, industry structure and operation trends. The combination of valuation and qualitative scores equates to the investment appeal of each stock.
Our market outlook
We believe markets are fully valued in absolute terms, but remain attractive in relative terms. The market is being pulled in two different directions. The positive support is coming from a lack of attractive alternatives, given extreme pricing for bonds and depressed yields across property, infrastructure and cash. The negative pressure is a result of macro risks that are difficult to forecast with any precision. In general, small cap industrials look expensive; however the recent market volatility has thrown up numerous individual stock opportunities. We continue to see structurally supportive thematics in sectors exposed to global reflation, infrastructure spending and superannuation flows.
Importantly, given our concerns around macro tail risks, our portfolio is skewed to stocks with lower gearing. The fund’s largest holdings having little-to-no debt and a very realistic prospect of capital management or attractive acquisitions, which will further enhance shareholder returns. The low debt levels also de-risk these stocks in the event of economic weakness or problems in credit markets.

Charity in focus: Kids Helpline
About Kids Helpline
Kids Helpline (KHL) is Australia’s only free, private and confidential 24/7 phone and online counselling service for young people aged 5 to 25.
==> picture [107 x 76] intentionally omitted <==
For 25 years, KHL has been playing a critical role in protecting children and young people across Australia. We do this by giving children and young people choices, support and someone to listen any time and for any reason, and by partnering with protection agencies, the corporate sector and educators to ensure the most vulnerable can access help.
Kids Helpline Circles
With the support of FGX, KHL is launching a world-first purpose-built mental health social media network to help young people who are experiencing or are at-risk of mental illness.
Developed in collaboration with the University of Sydney, KHL Circles is a social media network led by a KHL counsellor that encourages peer-to-peer support through group counselling for young people aged 13-25 years. The network provides safe and private professional mental and emotional wellbeing services for young people nationally, and is accessible from a smart phone, tablet or computer 24 hours a day.
Upon entering a KHL Circles group (around 10 young people and their counsellor) each participant will complete a series of modules where they work through stages of understanding and managing mental health issues while connecting with peers who have similar concerns. The program is free to all young people and the modules support the key themes of building resilience, self-care and self-management.
We are in the final stages of testing the platform’s functionality and our counsellors are identifying young people for our first ‘Circle’ ready to be launched in January 2017.
Q&A with Tracy Adams, CEO yourtown/ Kids Helpline
What is your driving motivation in your current role?
To enable the organisation to be the best it can be and through that the contribution made by yourtown to individuals and communities achieves outcomes which not only change lives today but sustain that change into the future.
2. What is the most challenging aspect of your role?
==> picture [147 x 98] intentionally omitted <==
Managing competing priorities across diverse business units and functions, and balancing demand with resources. This includes the need to ensure that risk is managed well but that we don’t become so risk adverse that innovation and new ideas are not given the opportunity to be brought to life.
3. What does it mean to have the support of FGX?
For us it means innovation in service delivery. It allows for a new service to be developed within Kids Helpline, responding to need, supporting and developing capacity in young people. It also means that we can not only develop a service but we can also work with the University of Sydney to have a continuous learning model, and validation of the outcomes achieved.
