Ausbil Investment Management Limited is a leading Australian investment manager. Established in April 1997, Ausbil’s core business is the management of Australian equities for major superannuation funds, institutional investors, master trust and retail clients. Ausbil is owned by its employees and New York Life Investment Management (NYLIM), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New York Life Insurance Company.

Ausbil employs a ‘core/style indifferent’ investment approach, based on the belief that earnings and earnings revisions are the key drivers of stock prices. We seek to identify earnings changes/trends at an early stage and our Portfolios comprise both ‘value’ and ‘growth’ securities.

Ausbil’s active investment process aims to exploit the inefficiencies across the market, at all stages of the cycle and across all market conditions, with the aim of producing consistent and risk controlled outperformance.

ESG factors are also an essential aspect of Ausbil’s investment research for identifying opportunities, as well as the early identification of potential earnings risks. Ausbil’s objective is to add value across all market conditions.

Ausbil Australian Concentrated Equity Fund (AXW07)

The Fund provides exposure to an actively managed concentrated portfolio, predominantly made up of 20-30 listed companies.

The Fund aims to achieve returns (before fees and taxes) in excess of the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index over medium to long term with moderate tax effective income.

Ausbil Active Sustainable Equity Fund (AXW08)

The Fund’s aim is to outperform the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index over the long term by primarily investing in listed Australian companies which meet Ausbil’s sustainability approach to investing.

Ausbil’s sustainable approach to investing allows the Fund to invest in companies that have a relatively good sustainability profile, as well as the removal of companies’ subject to long-term earnings risk from sustainability factors, whilst actively engaging with companies on sustainability issues and the wider industry that they operate in. The Fund will generally hold between 30 to 45 listed companies.

The Fund is designed for investors with a sustainable approach to investing, who have at least a five-year investment time horizon and wish to benefit for the long-term capital gains available from the share investments and who are comfortable with fluctuations in capital value in the short to medium term.
