Fund manager in focus: Regal Funds Management

About Regal Funds Management

Regal Funds Management is a specialist long/short equities manager, managing close to $1.5billion in funds under management and has

==> picture [190 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

offices in Sydney and Singapore. The business has been running since 2004 and has an investment team of 15 people utilising a number of investment strategies which can be predominately classified into a fundamental, research-driven model and 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 to short-selling is to have a longer term focus, looking for weak business models and overvalued companies.

Our market outlook

Notwithstanding the bounce in March, the outlook for the Australian equity market continues to deteriorate, with the banks experiencing rising bad debts and other large companies continuing to struggle to grow profits. The Fund continues to have a bias to small and mid cap companies that are experiencing growth. In the mining sector, small shorts to oversupplied commodities such as iron ore and coal remain, and longs are in undersupplied commodities such as graphite and lithium.

Designated charity in focus: Australian Indigenous Education Foundation

About The Australian Indigenous Education Foundation

The Australian Indigenous Education Foundation (AIEF) provides scholarships that enable Indigenous children to attend leading Australian schools and universities, as well as mentoring and pathways support to ensure students make a successful transition from school to careers.

==> picture [152 x 73] intentionally omitted <==

AIEF has consistently achieved Year 12 completion and career transition rates above 90%, making it the most successful program in the country.

AIEF and FGX

The 2015 FGX donation contributed to the AIEF Scholarship Fund, which supported over 500 school and tertiary scholarship students in 2015.

Existing funds are committed to support current scholarship students, so future donations from FGX will allow AIEF to create more opportunities for Indigenous students.

Q&A with Andrew Penfold AM, Executive Director

1. What is your motivation?

ABS figures show there is no gap between Indigenous and nonIndigenous Australians who are well educated and students who complete Year 12 completion are more likely to go on to further study and successful careers.

==> picture [212 x 142] intentionally omitted <==

The evidence is unambiguous, yet the year 12 completion gap remains wide, at 25%. This is unacceptable and it’s what motivates me and everyone at AIEF in all that we do.

2. What is the biggest challenge?

The most challenging aspect of my role is the fact that AIEF is forced to say no to Indigenous students who want to pursue their education on an AIEF Scholarship, as existing funding is committed to support current scholarship students.

Our challenge is to raise more funding so we can ensure that none of these students and families are denied the opportunity.

3. What does it mean to AIEF to have the support of FGX?

AIEF is very grateful for the support of FGX and its shareholders. With the support of FGX, AIEF can empower more Indigenous children to build a brighter future for themselves and for the nation.
