Portfolio Construction
The portfolio is managed with the goal of:
- constructing a concentrated portfolio of 18-30 large cap securities which are not trading at excessive valuations, relative to the peer group;
- maximizing after tax returns for investors, based on favouring stocks that pay a high franked yield, and capital gains deferral through reduced turnover and by utilizing long-term capital gains tax concessions; and
- a key focus on earnings and dividend sustainability designed to preclude investment in companies that may pay a high current dividend, but have a probability that this will be reduced in the medium term.
