Fund manager in focus: Cooper Investors
About Cooper Investors
==> picture [153 x 52] intentionally omitted <==
Cooper Investors Pty Limited (CI) is a specialist equity fund manager with funds under management of approximately $10 billion. We commenced operations in 2001 and have an investment team of 18 people across Australian and Global research supported by a team of 19 people. We now have 10 years’ experience developing our global equities capabilities. CI is 100% owned by its employees.
CI manages six pooled wholesale trusts (CI Australian Equities Fund, CI Pensions Fund, CI Asian Tiger Fund, CI Brunswick Fund, CI Global Equities Fund and CI Global Equities Fund (unhedged)) along with a number of individual mandates which invest in either Australian equities, international securities or a mixture of both. Employees are encouraged to invest in the CI trusts.
Our investment style
CI is a long-term observational investor. CI prefers to allocate capital to companies and industries with a specific value proposition that are performing well or are in an early phase of turnaround (observation of operating, industry and strategic trends) with focused management (value based leadership).
CI uses VoF as a discipline to process complex qualitative and quantitative information on stocks and industries:
-
V alue Latency;
-
O perating, industry and strategic trends; and
-
F ocused industry and management behaviour.
The CI investment team undertake an intensive program of industry and company visits gaining insights and knowledge of stocks, industries and themes. In the last financial year, the investment team participated in over 1,000 one-on-one company or industry meetings.
Our market outlook
After a year in which the market, including dividends, was largely flat, the outlook for the coming period does not look much rosier given the recent Brexit vote and political instability in other parts of the world. Times like this reinforce one of our core beliefs, namely the best insights come from people at the coal face and we have recently undertaken trips to North America, Europe and Japan. In addition, volatility in markets provides opportunities to add new stocks to the portfolio, for example, we have added Heico Corp.
Heico is the largest independent manufacturer of aftermarket aircraft replacement parts, known as PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval). These parts require strict Federal Aviation Administration approval but are sold to airlines at ~30% discount to the original equipment pricing. PMA accounts for less than 5% of the aircraft maintenance market, hence Heico has a long runway of growth ahead of it, underpinned by internal product development and acquisitions. We also like the exposure to the long term secular trend of growing demand for air travel. The company is controlled and run by the Mendelson family who have grown the business 15% per annum over 20 years.
Another recent purchase that plays to the same theme is Amadeus IT Holding, the biggest global distributor of airline seat inventory. Based in Madrid, Amadeus is a leading player in modernising IT systems for travel providers and hosts the central reservation systems for most of the world’s biggest airlines. Amadeus benefits from the ongoing digitisation of global travel and enjoys very strong cash generation, high recurrence of earnings and a strong balance sheet.

Charity in focus: Butterfly Foundation for Eating Disorders
Butterfly Foundation is Australia’s peak national organisation for those affected by an eating disorder, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and atypical presentations. Eating disorders are complex neuropsychiatric illnesses that result in significant physical and psychological impairment. They have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness and Deloitte Access Economics have assessed an annual socio-economic cost of over $70B.
==> picture [87 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
Butterfly is committed to raising awareness at all levels of government and community about the prevalence and cost of eating disorders, and promoting evidence based affordable prevention and treatment for all who are affected.
Butterfly Foundation and FGG
Funding from FGG will enable Butterfly to expand its current Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to include a stream dedicated for young people. Based on the work of Carolyn Costin from the US, the IOP will be an early intervention program for young people focusing on preventing hospitalisation and engaging the young person in sustainable recovery. The evidence based group therapy program will work with young people to harness their healthy behaviours to override and defeat the unhealthy eating disorders behaviours. The program will allow for the young person to remain at school.
Q&A with CEO, Christine Morgan
How do you measure success in relation to the FGG funding you are receiving?
Success will be measured in the number of young people who can access the program and the impact it has on their recovery journey, specifically in avoiding hospitalisation and equipping them for sustainable recovery. The evaluated outcomes of the program will be used by Butterfly to advocate for such programs to be available within public health systems, accessible to all in need, not just those who can afford to pay.
What other support do you need besides funding that FGG investors could assist you with?
==> picture [96 x 144] intentionally omitted <==
In addition to funding access to evidence based programs such as the IOP, the critical need is to raise awareness of eating disorders to ensure early help seeking. It is estimated that less than 25% of people with an eating disorder are currently accessing treatment. Early identification and intervention reduces the length of treatment and most importantly, reduces the risk of mortality. Far too many people still regard eating disorders as a lifestyle choice and stigma has been identified as a key reason people do not seek help. FGG investors could assist in the vital work of reducing this stigma and encouraging anyone with an eating disorder or who is at risk of developing an eating disorder to seek help, initially through Butterfly’s support line ED HOPE – 1800 33 4673.
Where will your organisation be in five years time?
As the national peak organisation for those affected by eating disorders, Butterfly will continue to advocate for evidence based affordable treatment, early in illness and early in episode, for anyone with an eating disorder. We will do this through advocacy, piloting essential services, delivering national treatment and support programs and building the evidence base. Increasingly our focus will be on prevention and early intervention programs.
