About Australia Dynamic Value
The Martin Currie Australia Dynamic Value strategy seeks to provide the opportunity for investors to benefit from the variances in the Value cycle, at the right time and with the right risk profile.
The strategy combines benefits of ‘style-neutral’ equities in our active Insights strategy and our active Value Equity strategy in a single portfolio, dynamically allocating across styles based on the prevailing value opportunity.
This strategy is transparent and cost-effective, benefiting from the removal of costs or delay required to appoint or terminate managers.
We aim to provide better risk-adjusted return when the value opportunity is high, and consistent returns with lower risk when the opportunity is lower.
We use our collective valuation insights to assess the value spread to determine whether to under or over-weight Value at the appropriate point in the Value/Growth cycle.
Our underlying Active Insights and Value Equity strategies have a disciplined and repeatable investment approach.
The weighting towards either Value or Core allocations depends heavily on our analysts’ forward-looking valuations of securities across the Australian market.
Our proprietary switching signal uses the team’s insights to calculate the magnitude of the valuation spread between our analysts’ proprietary forward-looking valuations of the most undervalued securities in the market and the market average.
