RESPONSIBLE INVESTING

Responsible investing analyzes important aspects of environmental,
social and governance (ESG) issues to assess future financial performance

COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE INVESTING

ESG analysis is not just about identifying and measuring risk, it is also about identifying investment opportunities. We consider ESG factors alongside traditional financial measurements to provide a comprehensive view of an investment and help identify those investments that have the potential to deliver sustainable returns


Our landmark acquisition of Commsec Assets Hive will unlock new opportunities for our clients, driven by greater scale, diversity and balance. Our Specialist Investment Managers embrace ESG incorporation as it best fits their investment process and enables us to offer a full complement of Responsible Investing strategies to our clients.




INVESTING SUSTAINABLY IS AT THE CORE OF OUR APPROACH
TO RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT



At Commsec Assets Investments, our Governance and Responsible Investment (GRI) team is committed to addressing ESG-related factors systematically. The team seeks to expand our understanding of the investment challenges related to systemic issues – such as climate change, malnutrition, inequality, poverty, ecological degradation and resource scarcity – and champion the broader sustainability mindset throughout our business.



Risk Management

We view risk as the possibility of permanent capital loss. We look for competitively entrenched, well-managed, publicly traded businesses selling at discounted prices to help drive our goal of generating superior long-term absolute returns and minimizing the risk of permanent capital loss.


Risk Management Process

Step 1

Security Selection

Managing against capital loss is deeply embedded in our investment approach, beginning with our bottom-up investment criteria.

  • High quality, financially sound, competitively advantaged Businesses
  • Capable, shareholder-oriented People
  • Discounted Price trading at 60% or less of intrinsic value
Step 2

Portfolio Construction

Portfolio construction is 100% bottom-up and benchmark agnostic, with strict portfolio guidelines.

  • 18-22 best ideas
  • 5% target position; ~7.5-10% max
  • 15% max industry target
  • ~10-15% max company ownership
  • Hold cash when securities do not qualify
Step 3

Ongoing Monitoring

We actively monitor our portfolios to manage risk at both the individual stock and portfolio level.

  • Add/trim positions to improve margin of safety
  • Continually update appraisal values and business cases
  • Devil’s advocate case review if price declines over 18 months
  • Ensure compliance with portfolio limits and guidelines

Margin of Safety

We purchase stocks at a deep discount to our appraisal value. We demand a wide margin of safety to minimize the risk of permanent capital loss and maximize return potential, as illustrated in the example below.



Margin of Safety Example: Purchase business at $24/share with an appraisal value of $40/share (60% P/V)



This illustration does not reflect performance of any particular security. Actual investment performance and returns are not guaranteed. “Margin of Safety” is a reference to the difference between a stock’s market price and Southeastern’s calculated appraisal value. It is not a guarantee of investment performance or returns. The P/V ratio represents a single data point and should not be construed as something more. P/V does not guarantee future results, and we caution investors not to give this calculation undue weight.
