The Wingate Global Equity Fund – Wholesale Units has been added to the Macquarie Wrap platform, providing investors with exposure to the growth of global markets while limiting risk.
The Fund is managed by boutique international equities manager Wingate Asset Management, an investment firm with over a decade of experience in running global equity portfolios. The Fund invests in high quality companies from around the world that are rigorously evaluated to ensure investment conviction. Wingate uses a unique option-based implementation process that has generated 7-9% p.a*. in income. Through its differentiated investment process the Fund aims to produce consistent positive superior long-term returns while reducing downside risk.
The Fund is compelling for investors looking to gain a diversified approach to international investing that offers reduced downside risk, a smoother return profile and a compelling yield.
Chad Padowitz, Wingate’s chief investment officer, said that in a global environment of falling interest rates, investors continue to seek income but at the same time are concerned about taking on risk.
“The Fund offers investors an option that limits downside risk while ensuring they don’t miss out on the market’s upside.
“At the same time, we seek to provide stable income that is less affected by market volatility than other global equities funds.
“We incorporate an assessment of risk at multiple stages of the investment process, enabling us to take advantage of long term investment opportunities during periods of short term irrational market behavior,” Mr Padowitz said.
