Vinva’s systematic investment approach seeks to harvest returns from opportunities identified by their experienced investment team and data-driven research process. With the use of leading-edge technology and robust risk controls, Vinva implements these opportunities into its portfolios in a highly disciplined, repeatable and efficient way. These strategies are designed with the aim to deliver consistent returns through different market environments over time.

Vinva’s systematic investment approach leverages investment insights, markets trends, and relative mispricings that other investors may overlook. Their investment team identifies alpha opportunities by analysing large amounts of data from various sources. They develop insight-driven models, including stock ranking, risk, and transaction cost forecasting models, using over 50 proprietary signals across a global universe of more than 2,800 stocks. These models consider changing market conditions, investor behaviour, and liquidity opportunities.

Vinva aims to understand and analyse the relationships between data and predictions, which serve as buy or sell signals to inform investment decisions. Predictive signals evaluate each stock based on a wide range of criteria, such as earnings quality, balance sheet fundamentals, valuation, sentiment, and supply chain linkages. Some signals may be positive, others negative. Stocks with predominantly positive signals are strong candidates for portfolio inclusion.

Vinva’s portfolio construction process integrates stock ranking models, risk models and transaction cost forecasting into a systematic and proprietary dynamic optimisation process. Vinva’s models take into account changing market conditions, behaviour of other investors and liquidity opportunities on a continuous basis.  

Vinva’s proprietary tools and models process data on an intra-day basis from hundreds of global sources. They seek to ensure that both overweight and underweight positions are deliberate and based on sound economic principles. By leveraging informed decision-making for thousands of potential global stocks, it creates a portfolio with hundreds of small active positions, rather than a more concentrated portfolio with larger and riskier stock positions.

The Fund typically includes over 300 positions and is managed to be style-neutral, where outperformance is not expected to be materially attributed to a single company, country, or to industry specific or macroeconomic risks.

  • any Half Year Financial Report lodged with ASIC;
  • any continuous disclosure notices we lodge with the Securities Exchange Operator and ASIC.

You have the choice of either buying units on the Securities Exchange via your stockbroker/online broker or applying directly with the Responsible Entity by completing an Application Form.

If you hold your investments via an investment administration platform, you should consult your financial adviser who will be able to assist you in investing in the Fund.

There are important differences between investing in the Fund through the Securities Exchange or by applying directly with the Responsible Entity, including the price you will receive. 

You should read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and the Target Market Determination (TMD) before making any decision on how to invest in the Fund.

 

If you invest on the Securities Exchange there is no initial minimum investment amount.

If you invest directly with the Responsible Entity by sending us an Application Form, the minimum initial investment is A$25,000. 

Additional investments can be made into an existing account at any time. No minimum applies for additional investments by BPAY. A minimum of $5,000 applies to EFT and cheque payments.

The Responsible Entity has established a DRP in respect of distributions made by the Fund. In respect of each distribution, the Responsible Entity may elect to offer or not offer the DRP. Under the DRP Rules, an investor may elect to have all, or part of the distribution that is payable to that investor reinvested as additional units in the Fund. The additional units will be issued at a price equal to the NAV per Unit, as provided in the DRP Rules. The DRP Rules provide detail on the methodology for determining the price at which units are issued to investors and can be found here. Details in relation to each distribution will be published on the announcements platform of the Securities Exchange Operator and the Fund’s website at https://magellaninvestmentpartners.com/funds/distributions/.

Investors can exit the Fund either by directly making a withdrawal request to the Responsible Entity or by selling units on the Securities Exchange. You need to hold your units on the issuer sponsored sub-register to make a withdrawal request directly to the Responsible Entity. Your stockbroker can assist you with this process if you hold your units on a HIN. The method by which you enter the Fund does not affect the method by which you can exit the Fund. If you enter the Fund by buying units on the Securities Exchange, you can exit the Fund by selling units on the Securities Exchange or by withdrawing directly with the Responsible Entity. If you enter the Fund by applying for units directly with the Responsible Entity you can exit the Fund by selling units on the Securities Exchange or by withdrawing directly with the Responsible Entity.

To make a withdrawal request with the Responsible Entity.
If you have a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Investor Number
You will need to provide your SRN or Investor Number on your Withdrawal Form
If you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) with your stockbroker or online broker
You will need to convert your holding from your HIN with your stockbroker or online broker to an SRN issued by the unit registry.
This is a standard process which your stockbroker or online broker can assist you with.

 

 

To sell your units on the Securities Exchange.
If you have a Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Investor Number
You can provide your SRN to certain stockbrokers who can sell your units on your behalf.
If your stockbroker does not offer this service, you will need to ask your stockbroker to convert or transfer your holding onto a HIN.  This is a standard process which your stockbroker can assist you with. You can then instruct your stockbroker to sell your units on the Securities Exchange.
If you have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) with your stockbroker
You can instruct your stockbroker to sell your units on the Securities Exchange.

There are important differences between exiting the Fund via the Securities Exchange or by withdrawing directly with the Responsible Entity, including the price you will receive. You should read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) or consult with your financial adviser before making any decision on how to invest in the Fund.

The Responsible Entity intends that the Fund will make distributions on an annual basis, although the Fund may make distributions more or less frequently at the discretion of the Responsible Entity.

The distribution may comprise an amount attributed to you from income (such as dividends received from shares and interest) less expenses incurred by the Fund (such as management fees) plus net capital gains made on the sale of shares or other investments held. In some circumstances, the Fund may distribute a payment out of the capital invested in addition to a distribution of net income or net capital gains. The distribution amount per unit in each class in the Fund is calculated by dividing the total distribution in that class by the number of units on issue at the nominated record date. The distribution investors may receive will be based on the number of units they hold at the nominated record date. It is not pro-rated according to the time that investors have held their units. (Please read Fund PDS for full details)
