Strategy Description
Insync's fund aims to outperform the MSCI All Country World ex-Australia Net Total Return Index in Australian dollars over a full market cycle, providing downside protection for severe market falls. It concentrates on high-quality companies benefiting from Megatrends, which drive exponential earnings growth. The strategy uses Put Options for market downturns and selects 20-40 companies from a screened universe of 150, based on various financial metrics and analysis. The fund may hold some cash, derivatives, and currency contracts for hedging, but primarily operates as a long-only fund, remaining fully invested regardless of market cycles.Cumulative Performance
