About the portfolio manager portfolio is held for the month without alteration and on the first trading day of the following month the system is run again. Newport Private Wealth Pty Ltd Newport Private Wealth Pty Ltd (ABN 16 166 931 960, AFSL 451820) ( Newport ) is the investment manager in relation to the establishment and implementation of the Newport Global Tactical Portfolio. Newport Private Wealth is an Australian based specialist portfolio manager with a global focus. Newport s 20 years of experience investing in Asia and Australia provides Newport with unique insights into investment opportunities across all asset classes both globally and in the Asia Pacific region. This knowledge and expertise is applied by Newport to deliver superior returns to their portfolios. Investment strategy and process Investment strategy The Newport Global Tactical Portfolio will adopt a long-only global tactical asset allocation strategy. The portfolio s asset allocation is determined quantitatively by a rules based system that is algorithm driven and adjusted monthly. The investment strategy is primarily designed to identify and capture the long term trending nature of asset classes. The Newport Global Tactical Portfolio s mandate allows the portfolio to be highly flexible and take high conviction asset class positions. Being absolute return focused, the portfolio will not be benchmark constrained. To implement the strategy the portfolio will trade a basket of ASX listed ETFs. The following flowchart illustrates the cycle that the strategy follows to re-weight the portfolio on a monthly basis. At the start of each month market data is collected and analysed by the system. The system makes two decisions: 1. Inclusion - a number of system rules based on technical indicators will determine which ETFs will receive an allocation in the current month s portfolio 2. Percentage allocation - the system will then decide what percentage of the portfolio will be allocated to each included ETF based on expected return and risk metrics with a currency overlay determining hedged or unhedged exposures to non-aud based assets. The final portfolio (ETFs and their percentage allocations) is produced and the portfolio is reweighted on the first trading day of the month. That How the portfolio manager manages risk? The portfolio will aim to keep 5 year rolling annualised volatility to roughly half that of the ASX 200 (approx. 8.00%). The portfolio will aim to maintain a 5 year rolling Sharpe Ratio of >0.60 at a risk-free rate of 3.00%. The portfolio is generally well diversified across a wide range of asset classes, markets and sectors but also has the flexibility to avoid asset classes and markets that are displaying a technical downtrend. Being a global asset allocation strategy, foreign currency exposure is an important aspect. For investors in offshore assets, currency movements can represent losses or gains on their portfolios depending on which way foreign currencies move relative to their home (or base) currency. In order to deal with potentially adverse currency movements, the portfolio has a currency overlay that moves allocations between hedged and un-hedged ETF exposures depending upon the underlying trend in the Australian Dollar trade weighted index (TWI). The ETF basket that the portfolio trades represents, in total, over 3,500 individual securities with combined assets under management of over AUD$2.1 billion. The product issuer, market makers and authorised participants are all there to ensure that there is sufficient liquidity available. The portfolio can be completely liquidated within 24 hours (excluding settlement). The model does not use shorting, leverage or derivatives. Potential investors in trend following strategies should be aware that markets can suddenly correct and as a result the strategy will go through loss making periods. Any investment should be viewed as medium to long term and the potential investor should be prepared for the inevitable drawdowns associated with a long only strategy. 4
Risks Before you consider investing in this portfolio, it s important you understand the risks that can affect your investments. A summary of key risks is in the IDPS Guide. See the Risks section in the IDPS Guide and please note this is not an exhaustive list of all the risks. The risks relevant to this portfolio reflect the underlying investments. For information about risks with regard to your personal situation speak to your adviser. Performance fees Investment performance fee Some portfolio managers may charge an investment performance fee in addition to the investment management fee. Investment performance fees relate to the outperformance of the managed portfolio in relation to the benchmark and will be paid to the portfolio manager by the Operator. Please read below for more information about the way the investment performance fee is calculated and deducted from your account. Benchmark Each portfolio manager sets a benchmark for the managed portfolio so that performance can be measured in relation to this benchmark. For example, the S&P/ASX 200 may be a benchmark for an Australian shares portfolio. HUB24 obtains data on these indices from Standard and Poor s including performance data, and HUB24 uses this to determine the managed portfolio benchmark return percentage each day. HUB24 calculates the managed portfolio performance by measuring the daily returns on a notional portfolio invested in accordance with the portfolio manager s instructions (i.e. in the securities that make up the managed portfolio using the weights as advised by the portfolio manager). This identifies the value added (defined below) by the portfolio manager compared to its benchmark, without being distorted by the timing of contributions and withdrawals, and the timing and settlement of trades, all of which can vary for each investor. In this manner the same value added percentage (defined below) is charged to each investor in a particular managed portfolio. The percentage return each day is termed the managed portfolio return percentage. Note: If the portfolio manager elects to either reinvest dividends or distribute income it has no effect on the investment performance fee calculation. The managed portfolio weights can move from the original set of weights due to price movements, the addition or removal of investments and (possibly) other corporate actions this is referred to as a floating managed portfolio. Calculation method The investment performance fee is calculated as a set percentage applied to the value added by the portfolio manager, so the higher the value added the higher the investment performance fee as the portfolio manager shares the outperformance with the investor. The fee calculated monthly in arrears and is deducted from the Operator from your cash account at the end of each month (or on prior to full withdrawal from the managed portfolio), and paid to the portfolio manager. The term value added is a dollar amount and is defined as value added percentage multiplied by your managed portfolio value, where the value added percentage equals managed portfolio return percentage less the managed portfolio benchmark return percentage for that day. Performance is calculated for the managed portfolio and the benchmark in exactly the same way to identify the value added percentage. The value added dollar amount is accumulated daily so that at the end of a given month, if the cumulative value added is greater than $0 then an investment performance fee is payable on the cumulative value added amount multiplied by the manager s performance fee percentage, at which time the cumulative value added is set to $0. If the cumulative value added is less than $0 then an investment performance fee is not payable and the cumulative underperformance amount carries forward to the next month and must be made up before any outperformance fee can be charged. Example If at the end of the previous month the cumulative outperformance was negative or -$1,000 (i.e. a cumulative underperformance) and this month s outperformance is $1,500 then the cumulative outperformance is $500. If the portfolio manager charged an investment performance fee percent of 25% then $125 would be the investment performance fee for that month (i.e. 25% x $500 = $125). Say at the end of the previous month the cumulative outperformance was positive $1,000 and a performance fee was charged (of 25% x $1,000 = $250), then the cumulative outperformance is reset to $0. If this month s outperformance is $1,500 then the cumulative outperformance is $0 + $1,500 and 5
another investment performance fee is due of $375 (i.e. 25% x $1,500 = $375). Note: The examples above are illustrative only and are based on the factors stated in the relevant example. They should not be taken to provide a guarantee or estimate of the investment performance fee that may be applicable to you. The performance of the portfolio manager s managed portfolio will usually differ to your actual managed portfolio for many reasons including: - cashflows the timing of capital contributions into and out of your managed portfolio the portfolio manager s managed portfolio makes no allowance for capital contributions or withdrawals - your managed portfolio will not be identical to the portfolio manager s managed portfolio, and - (minor) rounding adjustments and minimum trade sizes the notional amount invested in the portfolio manager s managed portfolio is assumed to start at $10,000,000. Trade notifications If the portfolio manager is planning to perform a rebalance or reallocation on your investment, HUB24 may send you an email notifying you of a set of pending investment instructions. This is called a trade notification. The specific details of the investment instructions will be set out on InvestorHUB. You have a minimum of 24 hours from the time and date of the trade notification to cancel these pending investment instructions. If you don t respond or take any action in relation to the pending investment instructions, the portfolio manager will submit the investment instructions on or around 10.00 am the next business day. If you opt out (i.e. do not consent) to the portfolio manager s proposed rebalancing or reallocation your investment in the managed portfolio will be withdrawn and be deposited into your cash account. If you can t contact your adviser to cancel the pending investment instructions, you can give HUB24 verbal and or written instructions directly, as long as the verbal and or written instructions are received by HUB24 within the time frame mentioned above. The rebalance and reallocation of managed portfolios may occur regularly and you may receive a trade notification from HUB24 each time a rebalance or reallocation occurs. Note: The trade notification feature has been developed to provide transparency and the right to veto any pending investment instructions within the agreed timeframe with your adviser or HUB24. Universe of investments A managed portfolio can only be made up of asset classes and underlying assets and securities from the approved list of investments in the Service. The portfolio manager will select from this list to construct this managed portfolio. Where available, the actual list of assets and securities acquired in all of the above asset categories will be set out in your Statement of Advice.
