Investment Strategy

We take advantage of relative short-term arbitrages and mis-pricings in the Australian Equities market, rather than investing in any individual companies or portfolio of companies for a prolonged period of time. This part of
the portfolio is traded actively.

We scour the market for opportunities:
       initial public offerings
       capital raisings
       block trades
       oversold positions
       takeovers
       Listed Investment Companies (LIC) discount to net tangible assets (NTA) plays
       stocks trading at a discount to their NTA
       earnings momentum / surprises
       short selling
       market themes and trends
