Fund OverviewThe NWQ Fiduciary Fund (Fund), managed by NWQ Capital Management, is a diversified multi-manager portfolio, modelled on NWQ's Fiduciary Model Portfolio. The principal investment objective of the Fund is to produce attractive positive returns irrespective of market direction. This is achieved through active allocations to selective fund managers that employ a variety of traditional and absolute return strategies. The Fund places emphasis on managers who demonstrate a rigorous and repeatable investment process that has delivered a strong track record.

The Fund aims to produce returns after management fees and expenses of RBA Cash Rate + 4.0-5.0% p.a. over rolling five-year periods. Furthermore, the Fund aims to achieve these returns with volatility that is a fraction of the Australian equity market, in order to smooth returns for investors.
Manager CommentsThe NWQ Fiduciary Fund rose by +2.69% in August. Over the past 12 months, the fund has risen by +10.58%, and since inception in May 2013 has returned +6.52% per annum with an annualised volatility of 5.75%.

The fund's returns over the past 12 months have been achieved with a volatility of 5.2% vs the index's 10.33%. Over all other periods, the fund's returns have been consistently less volatile than the index.

The fund's Sortino ratio (which excludes volatility in positive months) has ranged from a high of 5.99 for performance over the most recent 12 months to a low of 0.95 over the latest 36 months, and is 1.35 for performance since inception. By contrast, the ASX 200 Total Return Index's Sortino for performance since May 2013 is 0.72.

Since inception in May 2013 in the months where the market was negative, the fund has provided positive returns 53% of the time, contributing to a down-capture ratio for returns since inception of 13.25%. Over all other periods, the fund's down-capture ratio has ranged from a high of 30.01% over the most recent 36 months to a low of -8.46% over the latest 12 months. A down-capture ratio less than 100% indicates that, on average, the fund has outperformed in the market's negative months over the specified period, and negative down-capture ratio indicates that, on average, the fund delivered positive returns in the months the market fell.
