The ASX200 index fell by a staggering 21.2% in March 2020. This was its worst month on record, and many equity funds suffered similar declines. In this dire environment, the Totus Alpha Fund returned +10.4% for the month, outperforming the ASX 300 by a monster 31.2%.
The fund’s record of outperformance during down markets has been a key contributor to the +18.6% per annum return the fund has delivered since inception in April 2012. As Portfolio Manager, Ben McGarry puts it:
“When you combine solid performance in up months, with consistent performance in down months, the result has been superior, uncorrelated, risk adjusted returns for eight years.”
The fund has traditionally been available exclusively to wholesale investors. However, the Totus Alpha Strategy has recently given access to investors who do not qualify as wholesale at a much lower minimum investment level.
In the following investor presentation Ben McGarry provides more detail on the fund’s track record, investment process and how the portfolio is positioned for the current market environment.
