A Broad Australian Accent

Get a focused broadcap equities exposure.

The Yarra Australian Equities Fund leverages our long-term and balanced approach to equities investing. It offers exposure to a high conviction portfolio of ASX-listed companies that we believe have strong potential for capital growth over the medium to longer term. The Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index over rolling three-year periods.

Research not sentiment

We don’t let sentiment dictate our investment approach. Rigorous research and proprietary analysis lead us to identify and test insights that often differ from market consensus.

A balanced approach

Our style-neutral approach to investing and stock selection works to deliver consistent performance across market cycles. It ensures investors are not overly exposed to growth or value styles.

Team work

Our large Australian equities team comprises 14 investment professionals with leading experience and calibre. Sector specialists add weight to our rigorous large cap research and analysis.
