Investment PhilosophyTotus = whole, all, entire, total, complete, every part

Markets are inefficient allowing opportunity for active stock pickers to add value In the long term prices of stocks will gravitate towards intrinsic business value, which is a function of

prospective free cash generation Bottom up, forensic analysis of financial statements (balance sheet, cashflow and profit & loss) will

identify opportunities on both the long and short side Analysing a company from the “entire, whole, complete” rather than being beholden to concepts of

“value” or “growth” generally results in optimal investment outcomes Portfolio’s designed to avoid gearing (at a net level), excessive concentration and illiquidity

This philosophy results in a portfolio of stocks with the following characteristics:

Long Short

Tailwinds Headwinds

High quality earnings Low quality earnings

Cash Trash

Delivery Hype

Simple Complex

Currency exposure is hedged by funding foreign currency based stocks in their foreign currency:

A short AUD stock will have a long AUD cash balance

A long AUD stock will have a short AUD debt balance

Foreign Currency exposure on P&L is monitored daily. Foreign currency exposures of >5% of NAV are flagged to the investment team to determine the exposure to be closed out.

The manager does have the ability to actively hedge currency but as currency forecasting is not a core competency the use of active hedging has been extremely limited since the inception of the fund.
