Oasis Investment Menu and Performance Overview – December 2016FUM and Quartile Ranking

Source: Morningstar

• Total FUM is $5.2b with 74% invested in Australian and international equities and fixed interest funds.

• The high amount of closed FUM in multi-sector is a result of closing various funds with high fees and replacing with lower fee equivalent funds e.g. Russell Class A funds.

• 114 funds (33%) achieved 1st quartile performance and 106 funds (30%) achieved 2nd quartile performance.

• The best performing sectors, by proportion of funds in the top 2 quartiles, have been fixed interest and cash funds.

• 49 funds (14%) delivered 4th quartile performance and 82 funds (23%) 3rd quartile performance.

• The worst performing sectors, by proportion of funds in the bottom 2 quartiles were Australian equities and multi-sector funds. Fiduciary Research will engage with the CIO team in reviewing the funds in these sectors.

Note: One year performance should be interpreted cautiously given managers’ investment style biases and tendency of market conditions to favour particular sectors over shorter periods.

Fund Oasis FUM ($m) Sector Net

ReturnRelative Return Action / Status

Baker Steel Gold Fund $0.07 Alternatives 91.9% 30.5%**

No action. FR closed the Fund to new investors in Oct 2014. Solid gold demand has significantly increased valuations across the Fund’s core holdings. Strong stock selection with a focus on gold producers has been key to the Fund’s outperformance. Manager retains a focus on quality assets with good operating margins.

Maple-Brown Abbott Australian Geared Equity Fund - Wholesale Units

$1.87 Australian Equities 30.1% 18.3%**

No action. Outperformance primarily related to overweight materials and energy sectors and underweight financials and healthcare, the result of the manager's value based investment philosophy. The impact of leverage also contributed to performance. Fund has 2 recommended ratings from research houses.

Dimensional Australian Value Trust $9.88 Australian

Equities 28.5% 16.7%**

No action. Outperformance for the period was achieved by underweight positions in healthcare, industrials, information technology and an overweight position in materials. From a style perspective positive size and value premiums also contributed to outperformance.

Lazard Select Australian Equity Fund – Wholesale $2.85 Australian

Equities 26.2% 14.4%**

No action. The portfolio is substantially overweight in high quality resource companies and simultaneously lowered the weighting to defensive, high yield sectors such as infrastructure. This positioning has contributed to positive performance as resources have rallied and many ‘bond proxy’ equities have sold off.

CFML Schroder Equity Opportunities Fund $0.00 Australian

Equities 24.0% 12.2%**No action. The Fund’s significant overweight to materials sector aided performance. The portfolio was tilted to big, low cost miners and underweight those sectors and stocks where valuations looked stretched such as the banks and REITs.

Realindex RAFI Australian Small Companies Fund - Class A $0.07 Australian

Equities 24.8% 11.6%**

No action. FR closed the Fund to new investors in Oct 2015. Small cap value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts, creating a boost for portfolio performance. The Fund’s ‘value’ tilt had the portfolio overweight materials/mining services companies which aided relative performance during the year.

Lazard Emerging Markets Fund $3.27 International Equities 22.3% 10.6%**

No action. Stock selection within the financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors were key drivers of outperformance. Overweight positions in Russia and Brazil and underweight China added value from a country perspective.

Celeste Australian Small Companies Fund $0.51 Australian

Equities 23.2% 10.0%**No action. The Fund benefited from a bounced back in undervalued mining services stocks as well as a sell-off in high PE defensive stocks. Outperformance was achieved by an over allocation to materials as well as underweight IT and financials sectors.

Antipodes Global Fund $0.19 International Equities 17.2% 9.2%**

No action. FR closed the Fund to new investors in Sept 13. Relative performance benefited from strong stock picking long and short and currency management. The portfolio achieved gains in thematic clusters, such as, U.S. natural gas recovery, low cost oil producers with long duration assets and European restructuring stories.

Platinum Japan Fund $11.5 International Equities 11.5% 8.6%**

No action. Strong Japanese market over the last quarter saw most stocks in the portfolio rally. The Funds’ key holdings in energy producers, exporters, electronics manufacturers and currency positions were strong contributors to relative performance.

Fund Oasis FUM ($m) Sector Net

ReturnRelative Return Action / Status

SGH ICE $0.58 Australian Equities -5.6% -18.8%**

The Fund is benchmark unaware. Over the last year key drivers of performance within the small cap index were resource and lower quality industrials, stocks the manager avoids. No action. Manager focuses on industrial franchise companies with sustainable earnings growth. The Fund has a ‘quality’ bias and is highly rated by research houses.

Colonial Future Leaders Fund $0.46 Australian Equities -5.3% -18.5%**

No action. FR closed the Fund to new investors in Oct 2013. The Fund’s significant underweight position to small materials/resource companies which rose strongly during the period had a substantial negative effect on relative performance.

Ironbark Copper Rock Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund $0.13 International

Equities -4.9% -16.6%**

Poor performance is attributed to the previous manager’s agribusiness strategy. Agricultural commodities was one of the worst performing sectors within the global universe. On 30 Sept 16 the Fund was transitioned to Copper Rock with a new, more diversified emerging markets strategy. Action: FR has assessed CIO's sector review (which downgraded this fund to Replace on the APL) and is comfortable leaving the Fund open as a result of 2 research house investment grade ratings and strategy’s niche offering.

CBG Australian Equities Leaders Fund $42.81 Australian

Equities -4.1% -15.9%**

Underperformance for the period was driven by an underweight position in materials and energy sectors and poor stock selection within the financials sector. Action: FR will review the Fund following the completion of CIO's sector review in Q2 2017. The Fund has strong long term performance and Lonsec rates the Fund as Investment Grade.

Bennelong Kardinia Absolute Return Fund $14.96 Australian

Equities -2.3% -14.1%**

The managers’ stock selection process has a bias towards quality, growth and earnings momentum. These factors all underperformed in 2016 as the market rotated aggressively into value strategies. The Fund was also underweight materials sector which dominated performance in Q4 2016. No action. The Fund has good long-term performance and is favourably rated.

Hyperion Small Growth Companies Fund $7.91 Australian

Equities -0.9% -14.0%**

No action. Manager closed the Fund to all investors in May 2016. Rapidly rising commodity prices and recent market rotation out of higher PE quality stocks into lower PE stocks such as banks and resources has hurt the Fund’s performance. The manager maintains its long-term focus on high quality businesses with competitive advantage.

Platypus Australian Equities Fund $0.86 Australian

Equities -1.9% -13.7%**No action. FR closed the Fund to new investors in Jul 2014. A sharp market rotation away from growth stocks into cyclical value stocks hurt performance. Largest detractor to the portfolio was an underweight allocation to financials and materials sectors.

Macquarie Asia New Stars No.1 Fund $5.64 International

Equities -15.5% -13.7%**

Underperformance driven by the surge in lower-quality, higher risk cyclical sectors and the Fund's underweight position to these sectors. No action. The Fund is highly rated and retains its quality bias favouring companies that are conservatively capitalised and can sustainably grow their earnings and competitiveness in the long term.

Colonial First State Wholesale Global Resources Fund $16.72 International

Equities 41.1% -13.6%**

No action. Underperformance for the period was driven by underweight positions in diversified metals and steel producers (such as Anglo American and Vale respectively) as commodity prices rebounded during the year. Strong peer relative performance over short and long term and positive ratings. Fund remains Approved on APL following recent sector review.

Hunter Hall Australian Value Trust $2.05 Australian

Equities -0.4% -13.6%**

FR closed the Fund to new investors in Oct 2015. Underperformance was largely driven by stock specific issues. A few stock holdings faced short-term challenges which detracted from performance. The manager is focused on quality companies and is confident and committed restoring positive portfolio performance. Action: Refer to ‘Watch List’ regarding Peter Hall’s departure.
