This guide is designed to provide a brief introduction on how Australian Standfirst fully serves a family’s particular needs and investment goals and we hope this guide adds insight and clarity on some of the most common questions asked.

We, at all times, respect the boundaries between professional advice and personal affairs and throughout every engagement, prioritise privacy and discretion, before all else.

Recognising that the vast majority of our existing clients and future prospects already enjoy existing relationships with numerous intermediaries and sources of advice and we therefore aim to augment this dynamic by contributing our very specialised service, which is designed to work independently but can easily be coordinated with others.

Our total commitment focuses on providing forward looking and strategic investment advice that is calibrated to protect existing assets, enhance wealth and lessen the risk and uncertainty faced by our clients in this increasingly complex world.

We specialise in providing this advice solely to individual wholesale clients as well as select family groups whilst operating with the utmost discretion.

One of our specific areas of deep experience is in supplementing Private (PAF) and Public (PuAF) Ancillary Fund remits and we greatly

enjoy working alongside other important stakeholders, such as Accountants and Trustees who administer Charitable Trusts and Estates to further enable a family’s own philanthropic goals.

Our techniques also endeavour to solve the problems others ignore by employing truly agnostic quantitative and qualitative methods throughout all of our client engagements.

To further serve such engagements, the Australian Standfirst Family has built patiently and with purpose, a capacity-constrained Global Core Fund Series, honouring the familiar touchpoints of original and thoughtful investment management, supported by an established leadership position, persistent track record and dedicated commitment to Australian Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) and Philanthropic wealth management solutions.

Summary of Fund

For Australian Ultra High Net Worth investors there’s an ever-present need to modulate the amount of accepted risk and wariness surrounding the likelihood of an erumpent in contagion.

For us this mean modulating the amount of risk in our fund is probably the most important task we undertake daily – we like the world but were not overreaching for risk.

In the past and at our best, realising ‘Intrinsic’ Value takes time. We have found that on a trailing 10-year basis, funds with low portfolio turnover (less than 25% per year) have beaten both their benchmarks and higher turnover peers.

Our three guiding Portfolio Management Principles therefore are, (1.) Do not take single party counterparty risk – we always face the exchanges or regulated markets, (2.) Avoid conditional correlations, they mean nothing positive in a crash and (3.) Secure your base, as, afterall, “offence wins games and defence wins championships.”

The investment staff provide an undertaking to only invest in Australian Standfirst funds in the future. At Australian Standfirst we are aligned with our investors long term investment goals because we are managing our wealth alongside our investors.

Australian Standfirst’s

In our view, uncertainty is the enemy of growth and to approach our systemic quantitative determination, the Australian Standfirst DDPM team has developed a proprietary top-down determination filter, we call our Core Activity Indicators (“CAI’s”).

A qualification and veto process that is completed before optimising portfolio construction, the CAI’s provide our DDPM team a strong framework of rules to manage optimal portfolio returns, minimises risk characteristics and satisfy liquidity requirements, at any given dynamic market moment. Importantly, Responsible Investing (“RI”), is further optimised throughout our global macroeconomic top-to-bottom process and places RI equally alongside thoughtful due diligence, deep risk-first research and tactically

proactive prescient investing. The Fund places a strong focus on displaying resilience in down markets, as protecting capital is Australian Standfirst’s first priority, especially as investing does not follow a glide path of uninterrupted success.

Global Macro funds can earn a premium for taking on risks. These can be either: 1. Easily accessible systematic risks derived from directional market exposures (Beta), 2. Alternative systematic risks, which require skill to access (Carry) or, 3. Exploit an advantage over other participants in the financial markets (Alpha).

Since none of these three sources of returns satisfy all the portfolio objectives on their own, the portfolio should include each.
