Overview

The Grant Samuel Tribeca Australian Smaller Companies Fund (Fund) is managed to Tribeca’s small capitalisation companies’ investment process which has been forged over more than a decade.

Tribeca approaches small companies investing by comparing the relative merits of a broad range of smaller companies and identifying those with a suitable degree of financial stability that demonstrate superior growth, or other attractive attributes. Tribeca’s investment process aims to identify the market leaders of the future and will tend to have a bias toward companies with relatively high quality and sustainable earnings streams.

Retail investors wishing to invest in the Fund should access the Fund through an investment platform.  Please contact your financial advisor for details.

As of 31 March 2013 Tribeca managed over $1.5 billion in funds for clients, invested across the Australian equity market. Tribeca’s success is based on a culture of investment creativity balanced by a range of disciplined and comprehensive processes.

Tribeca employs a team of dedicated and experienced investment professionals with significant experience in managing investments in the Australian equity and global markets. The investment team researches global liquid assets and brings together a broad range of knowledge and skills gained from a combination of research analysis and portfolio management roles within investment management and stockbroking.

Tribeca believes that a systematic investment process that identifies mis-priced securities enhances the potential to achieve returns that consistently outperform the market.

A multi-faceted investment approach enables the development of a range of products that apply specific skills to maximum effect in different segments of the market.
