Strategy Summary:

Australian Growth Strategy is Multi-Factor investment approach, it looks to identify companies that have the 'golden' combination of being reasonably priced, strong businesses with a combination of strong upside price and earnings momentum. It is an active concentrated approach that focuses on the top 500 Australian listed companies that make up the All-ords (ASX 500). The strategy uses a systematic rules driven approach to identify companies that are both showing strong upside momentum to the ASX 200 and are still showing reasonable valuation compared to the overall market. The strategy also measures overall market strength and will revert back to cash in poorer market conditions. 

The strategy also looks to identify strong companies at a reasonable valuation. This dual factor approach combines momentum with valuation, two approaches that are proven to have a statistical edge, into one robust investment approach.

The objective of the HarbourSide Growth Strategy is to provide clients with a sensible investment methodology that gives clients good exposure to Australian Equities while providing comfort from the knowledge that they will be well protected in poorer market environments.  The Strategy looks to maximise returns in strong market conditions while identifying weaker overall market conditions. In these weak periods, the proportion of cash held in client portfolios is increased, therefore providing a more defensive proposition than traditional investment strategies, such as managed and index funds. Over the long term clients will benefit from strong upside growth and downside protection.

Performance Aims While the strategy may underperform in strong market conditions it aims to give clients good upside exposure to Australian equity markets in strong investment environments while significantly reducing client's downside risk in poorer market environments.

Past performance is no guarantee or reliable indication of future results. Performance data is collated from real-time trading accounts. Because these strategies are run as individual portfolios and individual clients’ holdings, performance can differ slightly from one client to another. This can be due to differing start dates, available liquidity or risk profiles and other variables. Performance figures are net of Harbourside Capital management fees and commissions charged by Interactive Brokers but does not include Harbourside Capital Annual flat fee of $330.
