Overview

The Aubrey Global Conviction Fund invests in growth stocks worldwide in a concentrated and index agnostic fashion, with the aim of achieving capital appreciation.

As the name implies, it often takes substantial positions in regions and sectors which the managers consider attractive, with the result that the portfolio disposition and performance is generally very different from the MSCI World Index.

Although unconstrained, the Fund tends to be mid-cap biased, and expects its companies to be producing earnings growth of at least 15% over a forecast two year time horizon, have a 15% forecast return on equity, as well as being highly cash generative, with a cash flow return on assets of at least 15%. In addition to these quantitative requirements the managers emphasise management quality and track record, franchise strength, and competitive advantage. While many of the stocks in the portfolio pay dividends, it is not a priority in the stock selection process.

With such demanding growth requirements, the portfolio tends towards the higher growth regions of the world, and is generally overweight Asian markets, where excellent demographics and strong economies create an exciting backdrop. In developed markets, particularly the USA, the emphasis has tended towards the Technology, Biotechnology, and Consumer Services sectors. As a consequence, the portfolio is usually underweight in Europe and Japan.

 

Investment Objective & Policy

The Fund aims to achieve long term capital growth over a five year rolling period by investing in attractive markets and sectors on a worldwide basis. The investment policy is to invest in shares, warrants, bonds, money market instruments, cash and deposits, directly or indirectly through collective investment schemes, that can best take advantage of economic opportunities worldwide. As a result, the Fund may not always have exposure to all asset types. Derivative and forward transactions may be used by the Fund for Efficient Portfolio Management. Please refer to the prospectus for full details of the investment objective.
