Global Equities
AMP Capital Global Companies Fund
Focused on identifying companies that we believe have strong earnings potential, the Fund has maintained a strong track record underpinned by rigorous application of its wealth creation framework.
Our View
Why equities?
In our view, equities are considered one of the best long-term investments offered in the market. They have the potential to outperform other investments such as property, corporate bonds and government bonds.
However, due to the up and downs of the market, they are not without risk, which is why, in our view, they are better suited as a long-term investment where they have the potential to be more rewarding.
Equities are designed to provide both annual income (in the form of dividends) and long-term capital growth (when the share price increases over time).
-
Structure
We believe that investing is difficult, and we search far and wide for stock ideas that we expect to benefit clients. For instance, we believe the greatest opportunities may be in smaller market capitalisation companies, or lesser known companies, or those not in conventional market indices.
-
Knowledge
Our equity teams focus on developing deep knowledge of stocks - helping to reduce risk and deliver greater insights. Our view is that companies that create economic value are worth more tomorrow than today.
-
Ethical
AMP Capital is a pioneer in ethical, environmental, social and governance investing, and Australia’s largest manager of core responsible investments1. Apart from aligning our investments with customer values, it also helps us identify opportunities and risks that might otherwise be missed as the world becomes more socially conscious.
Risks
Risks specific to investments in equities may include share market and company risks, risks associated with the use of short selling and derivatives, investment management and style, portfolio concentration and liquidity risks. Please refer to the relevant fund’s Information Memorandum or Product Disclosure Statement for more information.
Australian Equities
Armed with greater transparency and cost effectiveness than ever before, our customers want Australian Equities solutions tailored to meet their individual goals. It is no longer one size fits all.
Global Equities
Our Global Equities team has a deep understanding of how companies can create or destroy value over the long term.
Global Listed Real Estate
We were one of the first to launch global listed real estate products in Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Malaysia, and have a strong track record of outperformance since then. Our investment team of 15 operate across the globe and provide insights into local trends and conditions.
Global Listed Infrastructure
We only invest in companies that own and operate infrastructure assets with no or low exposure to commodity, volume and competition risks. We believe this provides investors with superior risk-reward characteristics.
