Montaka Global Long Only Equities Fund (Managed Fund) will typically invest in an all-cap portfolio of 15 to 30 high quality businesses listed on major global stock exchanges with a focus on North America, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
If an insufficient number of individual company names are appealing in terms of the prevailing share price relative to the Montaka Global’s assessment of their intrinsic value, we may consider the overall market ‘expensive’ and in an effort to preserve the market value of the portfolio, may allow the cash component of the portfolio to build.
While cash may represent as much as 30% of the Fund this limit can be exceeded during the start-up phase of the Fund, or during periods of relatively high cash inflows or during periods when the Montaka Global investible universe is unappealing in terms of margin of safety or in anticipation of extreme market dislocation.
Montaka Global may, on occasion, hedge the Fund against movements in the Australian Dollar and other currencies, but the default position is to remain unhedged.
