Investment Strategy

To achieve our investment objectives, we take advantage of relative short term arbitrages and mispricing in the Australian equities market, rather than investing in any individual companies or portfolio of companies for a prolonged period of time.  This is referred to as our "Market Driven"process.

  • Participating in initial public offerings, placements, rights issues and underwritings where the immediate valuation upside appears favourable;
  • Participating in block trades which are below normal market values;
  • Participating in takeovers, mergers, schemes of arrangements and corporate spin-offs which appear favourably priced;
  • Trading oversold positions;
  • Short selling and option trading opportunities;
  • Taking advantage of Listed Investment Company discount arbitrages
  • Trading market trends and themes; and
  • Trading opportunities which will deliver acceptable risk adjusted return.
