Fund Structure | Open-ended unit trust |
Investment Manager | Technical Investing Pty Ltd (TI) |
Objective | To achieve a superior rate of investment return in all types of market conditions, focusing on both short term and long term investment opportunities.
To invest where we see opportunities both domestically and internationally. These opportunities will primarily be in listed companies and can be either long or short positions. We measure performance for our clients as an “absolute” performance, not as a measure against an arbitrary index. As a result, the Fund’s performance may deviate significantly from broader stock indices. |
Approach | Our investment strategy is to identify themes and trends through the use of both fundamental and technical analysis. We are thematic in our investment approach. Once a major theme/sector is identified we then drill down and look for individual investments that can offer strong returns. Our investment strategy relies heavily on technical analysis as a timing tool and for risk management.
We believe that the market moves in trends and cycles, that human behaviour repeats over time, and that you can track and measure this behaviour. We use a combination of top-down macro analysis together with bottom-up fundamental market and company research to identify major themes and trends in the market. |

Policy | The Fund’s investment guidelines are flexible and aim to provide the Investment Manager with the ability to generate positive returns irrespective of the direction of stock markets. The constitution allows the Manager to use long and short positions in securities including unlisted securities, options, derivatives (including CFDs and index futures), managed investment funds, commodities and foreign exchange.
The constitution also allows the use of leverage. We believe that using technical analysis as a risk management tool will be a key driver in the Fund’s long term success. |
