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: Manikay Partners

About Manikay Partners

==> picture [173 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Manikay Partners is a partnership based global investment management firm founded by Shane Finemore in 2008. As at 31 December 2016, Manikay Partners managed approximately $1.9 billion in assets under management. The firm is headquartered in New York, with additional offices in London and Sydney, and has a senior team of 21 professionals.

Our investment style

Manikay believes its success as investment managers stems from its sustainable edge – an adaptive, opportunistic, valuedriven investment approach.

The Fund manages one portfolio with three main complementary strategies; Trading, Arbitrage and Long/Short Investment. Capital allocation is not based on a silo approach but on a dynamic appraisal of the best perceived opportunities available in the market.

Trading is a market neutral strategy focused on shorter term (0-90 days) opportunities driven by perceived temporary mispricing. These are either driven by supply and demand flows or by shorter term relative valuation. Trades include active participation in capital markets, index adjustments, share class trades, spinoffs, and relative value pairs.

Arbitrage is an expected value strategy, including risk arbitrage, convertible bond arbitrage, credit arbitrage, distressed securities, stub trades and special situations. The holding period will be determined by the event being traded, but is typically in the two month to two year range.

Long/Short Investment is a long term, fundamental, value investing approach.

On the long side, the Fund seeks to invest in strong global franchises with well established track records, with the aim of purchasing these businesses at a material discount to our long term valuations.

On the short side, the Fund seeks pure alpha shorts that often include frauds, fads, and failures; businesses we believe are in terminal decline or temporarily overvalued.

Charity in focus: Reachout Australia

ReachOut is Australia’s leading online mental health organisation for young people and their parents. Their practical support, tools and tips help young people get through anything from everyday issues to tough times – and the information they offer parents makes it easier for parents to help their teenagers too.

==> picture [97 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

ReachOut has been changing the way people access help since launching as the world’s first online mental health service nearly 20 years ago. Everything they create is based on the latest evidence and designed with experts, and young people or their parents. This is why ReachOut’s digital self-help tools are trusted, relevant and easy to use.

Available for free anytime and anywhere, ReachOut is accessed by 132,000 people in Australia every month. That’s more than 1.58 million each year.

ReachOut and FGG

The opportunity to work with Future Generation Global means we can focus on improving mental health outcomes for thousands of young people in regional, rural and remote Australia.

What’s especially important is that a long-term funding partnership like this means we can design the best possible solution. Over the next five years, we will work with young people to better understand their needs and experiences. We’ll then test and trial a variety of approaches with young people and their families before scaling up the best solutions to improve the mental health outcomes of young people across the country.

As well as helping more young people directly, we will work with local services and providers to better integrate ReachOut in the wider mental health system. Making digital self-help a meaningful part of improving young people’s mental health is important anywhere in Australia, but even more so in regional, rural and remote areas where there may be limited access to traditional services.

Q&A with ReachOut CEO Jono Nicholas

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

Over the five-year period we will measure an increase in the number of young people from regional, rural and remote Australia accessing ReachOut. We will also look at their levels of satisfaction with ReachOut and what impact the service is having on improving their mental health.

For us, the funding from FGG is also an opportunity to raise awareness of ReachOut and our services with a new community of people – from investors in FGG to the fund managers.

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

ReachOut is available to help all young people and their families be happy and well, but more people need to know that we’re here to help. By telling people about ReachOut and making them aware of our service, you can help make sure that young people and parents know where to turn during tough times.

Where will your organisation be in five years time?

In five years’ time, we want to see an additional one million people in Australia get help for tough times through ReachOut. We strive to be there for them, and our solution is digital self-help. The connection and practical help we provide can be all it takes for a young person to realise what they’re going through, feel more in control, and understand what to do next.

To make this vision a reality, we will work to integrate digital self-help into our mental health system by extending our work with government and primary health networks even further. We will continue to push the boundaries of design and technology to reimagine the help we provide, delivering help earlier and to even more people. We’re dedicated to inspiring communities to advocate for young people’s mental health, accelerating social change so that every young person gets the help they need, where and when they need it.
