Contributing to the Fund’s outperformance was our pro-cyclical bias, including Portfolio manager overweights to Suncorp, QBE Insurance and Aristocrat Leisure; all of which recorded Symon Parish strong gains on the back of better-than-expected earnings. More broadly, the Fund benefited from strong stock selection within the materials space; notably underweights to Recommended investment Fortescue Metals Group and BHP Billiton. Stock selection within financials also added timeframe value. In addition to our holdings in Suncorp and QBE Insurance, this included 7 years overweights to NAB and Challenger. Other notable positions to add value over the period were underweights to Mineral Resources and Boral Ltd. In contrast, poor stock selection Tax structure within the information technology sector detracted from performance; including an Investment - Class C underweight to WiseTech Global, which rallied almost 60% on a combination of stronger earnings and improved guidance. An underweight to property trusts and an overweight to APIR code the energy sector also weighed on returns; the latter including overweights to Santos and RIM0015AU Woodside Petroleum. During the month, we removed Investors Mutual Limited from the Fund’s manager line up ARSN code and replaced them with an internally-managed defensive factor portfolio. We also 092-807-728 trimmed our value factor exposure in favour of more cyclical growth exposure.
