Manager Details and Fund Description

Manager: Antipodes Partners Total FUM for all funds: AU$8,000m
Manager Overview:
Antipodes is a global asset manager offering a pragmatic value approach across long only and longshort strategies. It aspires to grow client wealth over the long-term by generating absolute returns in excess of the benchmark at below market levels of risk. Antipodes seeks to take advantage of the market's tendency for irrational extrapolation, identify investments that offer a high margin of safety and build high conviction portfolios with a capital preservation focus.

Antipodes is majority owned by its investment team and its performance culture is underpinned by incentives, a focused offering and the outsourcing of non-investment functions to maximise focus on investing.
Fund/Strategy Overview:
The Fund typically invests in a select number of attractively valued companies listed on global share markets (usually a minimum of 30 long holdings). The Fund may use derivatives predominantly to establish short positions in securities or market indices and thus reduce the Fund's net exposure to markets, and to hedge currencies. Derivatives may also be used to amplify high conviction ideas. In the absence of finding individual securities that meet Antipodes' investment criteria, cash may be held. The Fund aims to provide income and some capital growth over the long-term.
Other funds operated by manager:
Antipodes Emerging Markets (Managed Fund), Antipodes Global Fund (PIE), Antipodes Global Fund - Long Only (Class I), Antipodes Global Fund Long (PIE)
