Thank you for your decision to invest with Maple-Brown Abbott. Whether you are an investor (self-managed or advised) or institutional investor the section below will provide you with all the important information that you will need to invest with us.

Which of the following best describes the type of investor you are?

Maple-Brown Abbott has been managing investment portfolios for institutional investors for over 40 years. Maple-Brown Abbott Limited is registered as a US SEC Investment Adviser. For more information on our investment capabilities please refer the section below.

The Fund is actively managed and is primarily invested in companies listed (or expected to be listed) on an Australian securities exchange which, at the time they are first invested, are not included in the S&P/ASX 100 Index and have a minimum market capitalisation of $100 million.

We believe that company earnings drive share prices over the medium-term. We use a disciplined fundamental research process to identify undervalued companies where we have conviction in medium-term earnings delivery. We focus on earnings-based valuations, assessment of how sustainable a company’s business model is and consideration of earnings risk. We believe that this focus can deliver strong and consistent returns over the long-term. Given the breadth of the Australian small companies market, we believe companies with this profile can be found at any point in the market cycle.

The portfolio managers have a proven and repeatable investment process, focused on in-depth fundamental research at the company level.* This approach is designed to create a portfolio of compelling high conviction ideas for our investors.

We typically hold 30–50 stocks which score well on combined earnings-based valuation and sustainability measures, with the focus on diversification and stock specific risk management.

*The past performance and experience of the portfolio managers was achieved managing a different fund with substantially the same investment strategy as the Fund. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

The Fund is actively managed and is invested in global listed infrastructure securities across regulated, contracted and concession assets that provide essential services, with a focus on sustainability and ESG factors. Generally, the securities in the portfolio have a market capitalisation greater than US$500 million.

We consider potential investments from a strictly selected infrastructure focus list of around 110 companies across more than 20 countries based on a tight definition of infrastructure. Stocks on the focus list are those the team believes provide the strongest combination of inflation protection and low volatility.

The team conducts fundamental research, including meeting with the companies and regulators and building financial models on companies. The team looks for companies that have good governance, as well as performs well on corporate sustainability matters. This bottom-up research is combined with a top-down approach to managing macroeconomic risks.

We take a high conviction approach to ensure the strongest stock views from the focus list are included in the portfolio. As a result, the portfolio is expected to have 25–35 global investments, diversified by country and sector.
