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: Wilson Asset Management
About Wilson Asset Management
==> picture [108 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Established in 1997 by Geoff Wilson, we are an independently owned investment manager based in Sydney, Australia. Today, Wilson Asset Management is comprised of seven highly experienced investment professionals who offer a combined investment experience of almost 100 years.
We take great pride in managing four LICs and more than AU$2 billion in shareholder capital. This is partnered with our philanthropic initiatives that see us actively contribute to our community.
Our investment style
Our investment methodology consists of two distinctive processes:
-
a research-driven process focused on identifying undervalued growth companies; and
-
a market-driven process that takes advantage of market mispricing opportunities.
Research-driven investing
This investment process involves diligent and deep research that focuses on free cash flow, return on equity and the quality of a company. Each company is carefully rated with respect to management, earnings growth potential, valuation and industry position. Under this process, our investment team will only ever invest in a security once we can identify a catalyst or event that we expect will change the market’s valuation of the company.
Market-driven investing
This investment process takes advantage of short-term mispricing opportunities in the Australian equity market. This part of the investment portfolio is actively traded, and as such, opportunities are derived from initial public offerings, placements, block trades, rights issues, corporate transactions (such as takeovers, mergers, schemes of arrangements, corporate spin-offs and restructures), arbitrage opportunities, LIC discount arbitrages, short-selling and trading market themes and trends.
Our market outlook
The S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Accumulation Index ended the month down 1.3% on the back of a mixed company reporting season. Many companies provided guarded outlook statements and were cautious in their guidance with only 19.0% seeing an upgrade to their EPS in the 2017 financial year. We continue to find investment opportunities regardless of market conditions, and our current cash weighting positions us well to capitalise on these opportunities.

Charity in focus: The Mirabel Foundation
About Mirabel
Mirabel supports children orphaned or abandoned as a result of parental illicit drug use. All Mirabel programs are designed to restore a sense of love, belonging and hope to these young lives whilst at the same time breaking the destructive cycle of addiction. Mirabel is the only organisation in Australia providing continual assistance for orphaned or abandoned children from birth through to 18 years.
==> picture [95 x 95] intentionally omitted <==
Mirabel and FGX
The FGX donation gives Mirabel the resources to provide intense and tailored support depending on a child or young person's needs. This includes the provision of a comprehensive needs assessment, intensive crisis support, therapeutic children’s groups and educational support. Support of our Toddler to Teen Program has enabled us to grow and refine our programs while catering for an ongoing increase in numbers of children over the past year.
Mirabel is currently supporting more than 1500 disadvantaged children and young people who are living with their extended family throughout Victoria and NSW. The generous donation from FGX will allow Mirabel to cater for an additional 100 new children each year. These young people remain the most profoundly overlooked casualties of substance abuse in our society.
Mirabel’s Toddler to Teen Program caters for children from their earliest days when they are referred to Mirabel right through until their independence. Intervention at the earliest possible moment in a child’s life paves the way for the best possible outcomes to be achieved. The program provides vulnerable children and young people with opportunities and experiences that build a strong sense of connection and provide hope for a positive future.
Q&A with Jane Rowe, Founder and CEO
What is your driving motivation in your current role?
Without doubt my driving motivation is the total belief that one can make a difference to a child's life. All our programs work at addressing a child’s trauma whilst restoring a sense of belonging and hope to their lives. These factors, combined with an education, give these children the best chance of leading positive and fulfilling futures. Mirabel believes that working with these children is one of the most proactive ways of breaking the cycle of addiction and this has been validated by a recent SROI of our work.
2. What is the most challenging aspect of your role?
==> picture [147 x 98] intentionally omitted <==
Continuing to raise sufficient funds to meet the growing demand for our services so that we can respond immediately to the number of children referred to us.
3. What does it mean to have the support of FGX?
The support of FGX is one of Mirabel’s greatest gifts, allowing us to address the individual needs of a child, whatever the age and whenever it may be required. A variety of challenges and crisis arise during a child's life and responding immediately provides the most effective intervention. Mirabel has always maintained that we will never turn a child away and there can be no waiting list for a child in crisis. The funding from FGX resoundingly reflects this belief.
