Yarra Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund

The Yarra Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund provides investors with access to a diverse, balanced investment universe with lower stock and sector concentration.

Access companies and industries offering strong medium to long-term growth potential

The Yarra Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund seeks superior returns, providing investors with access to a diverse and balanced portfolio offering strong growth potential over the medium to long-term.

By excluding those stocks included in the S&P/ASX 20 Index, the Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 ex S&P/ASX 20 Accumulation Index over rolling three-year periods. The portfolio typically holds between 15 – 35 stocks, providing investors with a concentrated portfolio built around stock-specific insights.

A diverse, balanced opportunity set

There is a significant concentration of Banking and Resources companies in the S&P/ASX 20 Index. By excluding these companies, a focused portfolio of 15 – 35 high-quality businesses provides a diverse, balanced investment universe with lower stock and sector concentration.

Harnessing more opportunities

The large investment universe enables access to a substantial number of large, mid and small-cap companies.

A fundamental approach which is well suited to Ex-20 investing

Our active and bottom-up investment approach is well suited to Ex-20 investing, where stock prices do not always accurately reflect their underlying valuation or risk profile.

Opportunities are identified through fundamental, bottom-up analysis, a balance of investment styles and from insights gathered from more than 1,600 meetings held each year.

Significant Investor Visa compliant

An investment in the Yarra Ex-20 Australian Equities Fund can be used as the ‘balancing investment’ component of a ‘complying significant investment’ for the purpose of applying for a significant investor visa¹.
