Until September 30, current clients of any Amalgamated Australian Investment Group (AAIG) business are eligible to invest in the Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund (APAEF) at a discount rate of up to 50 basis points.**
The APAEF, which celebrated it’s 7-year Anniversary milestone in June, is a long-bias equity market product which typically buys or short sells Australian listed securities and ASX 200 futures contracts, with a core focus on downside protection.
Risk management is an essential part of our DNA. We are not prepared to accept large drawdowns in the funds entrusted to us by our investors, which is the reality faced by all long-only fund managers when markets move against them.
These active hedging and trading strategies helped protect and grow investor capital during the COVID-19 led market crash, and have powered the Fund’s long-term market outperformance.
Reasons to Invest
Money Management recently featured the APAEF as one of only six Australian Equity funds that have made money in 2020, as the sector lost 9.5%. The article states: “According to FE Analytics, within the Australian Core Strategies universe, there were 227 funds in the sector but only six had performed positively over the six months.”
The best-performing fund in the sector was the APSEC Atlantic Pacific Australian Equity Fund which returned 24% during the period. Read more here.
The APAEF’s risk management and proactive trading mantra has allowed the Fund to significantly outperform the market since inception, and also smooth out volatility during market downturns.
* Annualised returns since inception in June 2013 of the Fund are 9.7% p.a. vs the S&P/ASX200 Accumulation Index returning 6.9% p.a. as at June 30, 2020. One Year return is 19.8% p.a. as at June 30, 2020.
In June 2020, Zenith Investment Partners awarded the APAEF an Approved Rating, validating the team, investment methodology and long term performance of the Fund.
The Fund also has a Recommended Rating from Independent Investment Research.
