PM CAPITAL’s Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, Paul Moore, has said the PGF is well positioned, currently having a 96% net equity exposure; “The basic framework we employ at PM CAPITAL has not changed. We firmly believe that the risk reward from owning a business is far superior to that of owning government bonds, property or cash. We continue to find compelling valuation opportunities offshore, relative to the Australian market, which looks expensive”.
“The value proposition when we listed the PGF remains relevant as Australian investors generally, and SMSF trustees in particular, are significantly underweighted in offshore investments”. He said.
PGF’s top five holdings comprising of Lloyds Bank (UK), ING Group (Netherlands), Pfizer (US), Barclays Plc (UK) and Google Inc (US).
The manager, PM CAPITAL, is a benchmark agnostic, fundamental focused investment firm, which seeks to invest in quality companies trading below their long-term intrinsic value. It uses a stock specific, bottom up process.
The primary focus of the PGF is the capital growth of its invested funds over a long term investment period.
