Profile

The TI Explicit Alpha Fund is designed to generate strong sharemarket returns by explicitly focusing on stock picking in the knowledge industries of health care, information technology and telecommunications. It combines active management of these industries, both buying companies we see as strong prospects and short selling those we see having poor prospects, over a base exposure to global sharemarkets.

For Australian investors, local equities have outperformed global equities for more than nine years. Please click on this relative sharemarket return chart to see the extent of this outperformance. TI Explicit Alpha has been developed for those investors who believe this trend may have run its course.

The latest information on the Fund is contained in the TI Explicit Alpha Fund Monthly Letter.
