Our Montaka Active Extension strategy strives for maximised return over the long-term. Owning the Montaka long portfolio typically scaled up to approximately 130 percent - and the Montaka short portfolio typically scaled down to approximately 30 percent – this strategy results in a net market exposure of approximately 100 percent most of the time.
Our Montaka variable net strategy strives for significant downside protection – but with minimal upside reduction. Focused on owning the world’s great and growing businesses when they are undervalued, while managing a portfolio of short positions in businesses that are deteriorating, misperceived, and overvalued, this strategy is our flagship long-short offering.
Our Montgomery Global strategy strives to act as a core, high conviction, global portfolio holding. Consistent with the long portfolios in our Montaka strategies, this offering is focused on owning the world’s high quality, undervalued businesses – and cash when appropriate – to outperform its benchmark. Branded as “Montgomery Global” in Australia to reflect a key distribution partnership with Montgomery Investment Management, this is our classic long-only offering.

Montaka provides investors from all around the world the opportunity to benefit from the value created by extraordinary businesses purchased at discounts to intrinsic value.
Our Montaka Strategy
Greater capital protection may be provided when markets turn down. Typically 15-30 holdings in the equities of extraordinary global businesses are partially offset by 25-40 short positions in the equities of deteriorating global businesses.
The result of this combination is a reduced Net Market Exposure, typically ranging between 30 and 70 per cent. Owning $100 worth of extraordinary global businesses and offsetting this with $60 seeking to profit from deteriorating or flawed businesses and industries produces, for example, a net exposure of $40. For every $100 invested in our Montaka strategy, investors are exposed, in this example, to $40 of risk from the general movement of the market.
In addition to the diversification benefits of global companies and foreign currencies, should the market suddenly drop by a hypothetical 10 per cent, the above example produces an expected decline of approximately four per cent.
As a result of this decreased net market exposure, Montaka carried significantly less market risk compared to many of its typical equity fund peers. In fact, some investors might view Montaka as a substitute for fixed income bonds, rather than as an equity investment.
Global diversification benefits are derived from the typical geographical exposures of; 40-60 per cent North America; 20-40 per cent Western Europe/UK; 20-40 per cent Asia/Australia; and 0-5 per cent elsewhere.
