At a Glance

The Ellerston Global Equity Managers Fund is designed to take advantage of investment opportunities while generating consistent returns across market cycles with a focus on risk and capital preservation.

The Global Equity Managers Fund features a specially developed long–short strategy. We take long positions in undervalued stocks to increase the potential for profit, while using short positions in companies or market indices we feel are overvalued to minimise market exposure. Depending on market conditions, we may also use cash and cash-like investments to protect capital.

The fund has a bias towards Australia with opportunistic allocations to the US, Europe and Asia.

Our Strategy

Our investment team uses a distinctively contrarian high conviction, absolute return approach with a focus on disciplined ‘bottom up’ stock selection based on rigorous fundamental analysis. This is overlayed with our ‘top-down’ assessment of macroeconomic conditions and the market outlook.

Individual security analysis is qualitative, focusing on management, strategy and factors affecting the business, industry and quantitative focusing on areas such as earnings, cash flow, liquidity, capital structure and balance sheet strength.

The result is a unique investment strategy designed to generate superior returns over the long term and minimise risk.
