Strategy.

The Fund will apply a rigorous screening methodology to a pool of selected shares from the indices, with greater focus on the larger companies by market cap. The Fund will then screen for growth opportunities using the following 4 factors:

  • Growth in earnings per share
  • Growth in sales per share
  • Price to earnings ratio
  • Share price momentum

Using the above criteria, The Fund will create a growth score for each company. This growth score, along with a market capitalisation score (i.e. size of company), will result in an overall blended score, which will serve as the basis for stock selection for The Fund. The Fund will only consider those candidates with the highest overall blended score.

Achieve targeted returns at or above the benchmark indices (Nasdaq 100/S&P 500).

The Fund will invest in listed US equities on S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices. Our low turnover approach to investment is facilitated by protecting against downside market moves with the use of volatility, currency and government bond securities. It will not be trading short positions in shares. A strict and consistent proprietary investment process will be applied by SMATS Asset Management Pty Ltd in both selecting securities and selecting the weights for those securities.
