Long equities Quantitative strategies Absolute bias Cash

Long equities – investing in a portfolio of equities based on the expectation 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. Quantitative strategy – a style of investment management where quantitative techniques are used to analyse markets in order to ascertain information about future price movements. These are generally rules-based and applied in a systematic manner. A quantitative strategy seeks to replicate a fundamental investor without human biases influencing investment decisions.

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: Morphic Asset Management

About Morphic Asset Management

==> picture [146 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Morphic Asset Management is a global equity investment manager based in Sydney. Morphic‟s area of specialty is mid cap stocks, which sets it apart from most other global funds offered in Australia.

Jack Lowenstein and Chad Slater founded Morphic in 2012, after working together for many years at Hunter Hall where they established an excellent track record.

Morphic offers investors an opportunity to invest in a fund, the Morphic Global Opportunities Fund, that combines quality stock picking within a modern risk management framework. The Fund has consistently delivered higher returns than most other global funds in Australia, while taking fewer risks than the whole market.

Our investment style

Morphic has formed a durable but adaptive approach involving a blend of investment strategies, all within a rigorous risk management framework. We believe that by adhering to bottom-up value investing, fundamental research and combining it with price trends to decide when to enter, we can deliver better returns for investors with less risk.

Our market outlook

If 2016 was about markets closing on their highs, with the best returns later in the year, we currently see 2017 as a year where the best returns are likely to be early in the year. Reflationary ideas are likely to remain winners for now: namely regions such as Japan and Europe and sectors such as banks and cyclicals, may offer the best prospects. Rising interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty may present a more challenging period later in the year.

Emerging markets offer better valuation prospects than at any time in the last five years and earnings are improving. The issue in 2017 is likely to be what protectionism unfolds from President Trump and how this affects them.

We see the Australian dollar as being under pressure this year despite some commodity support. Factors it will have to contend with, will include increasing policy uncertainty from China; a rising US dollar from “Trumponomics”; and slowing Australian growth from faltering housing support. Moreover the Australian dollar generally does poorly in “risk-off environments” and we expect a flat to down trajectory.

Charity in focus: Orygen, The National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health

Orygen is a global pioneer in early intervention in mental disorders for young people aged 12–25.

Orygen will continue to be a world leader in clinical and research programs in youth mental health. Our work creates, incubates and translates new interventions and models of care to be tested and deployed to the frontline of youth mental health care. Orygen has over 300 staff, and more than 100 international collaborators.

What that means for Australia‟s young people is that we‟ll help more of them and their families deal with mental illness and get back to employment and education, leading to the opportunity to be fully participating and contributing members of the Australian community.

Orygen and FGG

Funding from FGG is enabling Orygen to think „big picture‟ when it comes to youth suicide prevention.

==> picture [106 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

With the FGG funds we are establishing a comprehensive community approach to youth suicide prevention and trialling it across north-west Melbourne. Overall the aim of the program is to reduce rates of self-harm, suicidal behaviour and suicides by increasing knowledge, improving help-seeking, reducing stigma, and having access to the best evidence-based treatment. This requires us to do our work across emergency departments, schools, specialist clinical services and the general community.

Emergency Departments (EDs) provide a very „real-world‟ opportunity for intervention to prevent further self-harm and suicides. We are partnering with local EDs to examine the number and characteristics of presentations for self-harm and suicide-related behaviour, and to work out the barriers to delivering the best care to young people in these settings. We are hoping this will lead to an ongoing collaboration with EDs to ensure that at-risk young people who do come to EDs get the best treatment possible.

Q&A with Orygen Executive Director and former Australian of the Year Professor Patrick McGorry AO

How do you measure success in relation to the FGG funding you are receiving?

Success means creating new community approaches that lead to reduced youth suicide. Success also means leveraging the work done by the FGG funding to secure government funding to expand the program nationally.

What other support do you need besides funding that FGG investors could assist you with?

Orygen has been most successful when we‟ve had financial support that allows us to fund pilot projects. It is critical that many more benefactors support Orygen and our vision to dramatically reduce self-harm and suicide, and substantially improve mental health care in general for young people. Our next biggest challenge is understanding the underlying causes of mental illness.

==> picture [91 x 104] intentionally omitted <==

Where will your organisation be in five years time?

The most important driver for Orygen is how can we impact positively on young peoples‟ mental health so that they can live the lives they want, realise their ambitions and contribute to our national and international communities. To do this we need to continue to grow our abilities over the next five years to better understand mental illnesses, and provide services and treatments to reduce or eliminate their negative impacts, and ensure their take-up in a multitude of settings.
