Schroder Equity Opportunities Fund

Fund Overview

Investment Philosophy

How to Invest

An unconstrained approach to long-term success

Inflection points in inflation, interest rates and the large-scale monetary distortion of recent decades suggest the future will be quite different from the past. As valuations look remarkably out of sync with their true value and potential, it’s important for investors to take a long-term approach that combines a disciplined and resilient investment process.

The Schroder Equity Opportunities Fund is a broad cap, index unconstrained strategy that focuses on companies based on their inherent strengths, rather than short-term pricing and market sentiment. The Fund invests in companies of all sizes, with a progressive approach to research through data science and our skilled analysts. Our rigorous process sometimes leads to contrarian portfolio choices, which is how the Fund is able to deliver both alpha returns and resilience to market downturns.

The Schroder Equity Opportunities Fund seeks to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index after fees over the medium to long term by investing in a broad range of companies from Australia and New Zealand.

The Fund offers a high conviction equity strategy without the need to sacrifice portfolio diversification opportunities which the broader market presents. Because the strategy will depart materially from benchmark performance, in both directions, investors should have appropriate time horizons and a tolerance and patience for index deviation.

This product is likely to be appropriate for a consumer seeking capital growth for a small component of their portfolio, with a high or very high risk and return profile.

This product is unlikely to be suitable for a consumer seeking capital guarantee or capital preservation. This product is also not suitable for consumers seeking a standalone solution with a low risk and return profile or a short investment timeframe.

Investors can utilise the Schroder equity opportunities fund, combined with other domestic and international equity funds to provide diversification in equity portfolios.

Ability to access the best opportunities

The absence of benchmark constraints enables the fund to invest in companies of all sizes, across Australia and New Zealand, avoiding the pitfalls of capitalisation weighted benchmarks.

Long-term growth and value

We identify quality companies offering clear competitive advantage, prospects for enduring growth and resilience to market downturns. We only select equities we believe to be robust performers with prospects for durable returns throughout the market cycle.

Exceptional research capability

Drawing on both proprietary tools and inputs from our sector-based analysts, our research capability provides detailed insights of companies, maintaining high levels of objectivity in valuations.

Strong investment team

Led by Martin Conlon and Andrew Fleming, our 12 investment professionals for the Fund are one of the largest dedicated Australian Equity teams, managing $7.4bn* in FUM.
