Realindex Australian Share - Class A (Gross of Fees) Flyer 31 Aug 2019 Fund strategy Fund facts Realindex forms a universe of companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange based on Benchmark ASX 200 Accum accounting measures. Factors such as quality, near-term value and momentum are applied to Funds under management $6436.9 million form a final portfolio of companies. The resulting portfolio has a value tilt relative to the Inception Date 17 November 2008 benchmark and provides the benefits of being lower in cost, lower turnover and highly diversified compared to traditional active investment strategies. By weighting the portfolio based on accounting measures and factors such as quality, value and momentum Realindex aims to generate higher returns versus the benchmark over the long term. Commentary The Realindex Australian Shares Fund returned -2.40% (gross of fees) during August, versus the S&P/ASX 200 benchmark which returned -2.36%. August was earnings season in the Australian market with a large number of companies reporting their annual results. Typically, the abundance of company specific news at this time leads to returns being driven by stock selection rather than style and sector allocations. This was indeed the case last month despite the additional backdrop of global uncertainty, when returns are usually more style and sector driven. The exception to this was Health Care, the portfolio’s largest sector underweight, which was the key detractor. Most of this came from the large underweight to CSL (+4.9%) which hit an all-time high on the release of its earnings mid-month. Smaller amounts of relative performance was also lost from underweights to Resmed (+8.7%), and from not holding smaller growth stocks that delivered large returns, namely Pro Medicus (+45.1%) and Nanosonics (+21.1%). Stock selection within Consumer Staples was the largest contributor to performance, coming from a combination of overweights to traditional staple “value” stocks and underweights to newer “growth” names that have all been market darlings over the past few years. The overweights included Woolworths (+6.0%) and Coca Cola (+4.7%) whilst a large underweight to a2 Milk (-20.9%) was the largest stock level contributor to performance. In addition, underweights to Costa Group (-20.7%), Blackmores (-18.8%) and Tassal (-16.1%) all added to relative performance. Stock selection within the Consumer Discretionary sector was also a key contributor to performance. This mostly came from overweights to specialty retailers including JB Hi-Fi (+11.1%) and Super Retail Group (+7.0%), both of these companies showing that despite the depressed state of the Australian retail sector as a whole, there does exist investment opportunities in differentiated businesses. The contribution from Materials stocks was relatively flat, however there were some large moves within the sector. The underweights to BHP (-11.0%) and Iluka (-25.7%) added strongly to relative performance but were largely offset by underweights to two gold stocks; Newcrest Mining (+4.6%) and Evolution Mining (+4.4%) which were stronger after the gold price (+6.4%) hit six year highs. Earnings season as a whole was considered to be poor and as a result there were some large price falls in individual stocks. The portfolio benefitted from not holding several former market favourites including SpeedCast (-58.9%), oOh!Media (-30.5%), Bellamy’s (-25.7%) and Corporate Travel Management (-24.8%). This more than offset the overweight to Inghams (-21.9%) and not holding some of the few positive surprises including Afterpay (+15.9%) and WiseTech (+15.6%). The portfolio offers a valuation discount to the market-cap benchmark, as measured by price-to-sales (30.9% discount) and price-to-book (6.3% discount), as well as a dividend yield higher than the benchmark (16.1% premium).
