Managed by Australian alternatives investment manager Federation Asset Management, F2 which is non-correlated with listed markets provides access to a portfolio of institutional grade private capital opportunities with the benefit of monthly subscriptions, redemptions and pricing.
Federation CEO Cameron Brownjohn says the inclusion of F2 is in response to interest from independent financial advisers in this country.
He says a focus on ESG investments has played a significant role in underpinning Federation Alternative Investments’ strong performance and it has achieved annual unrealised gross return on investments of 21% per annum since inception.
“In the current uncertain economic environment, the key for investors is to find growth opportunities with strong defensive characteristics. Private equity has proved its value over the years, with little correlation with listed markets and a track record of producing superior returns when investments are made during downturns,” he says.
“Federation’s approach is to build diversified portfolios with exposure to high-growth yet defensive sectors. Examples of these are education, healthcare, clean power, real estate, financial services and technology.”
Federation holdings currently include Australian healthcare company George Health, clean energy generator Windlab and tech-enabled logistics company Sendle, which offers a fully carbon neutral service.
“Our focus is on strong, sustainable market leading businesses. We work closely with the investee companies to develop and grow their businesses through providing the capital, business plan development and strategic direction to realise untapped growth.”
He says there are also interests in a range of renewable energy infrastructure.
Federation is a signatory to the United Nationals Principles for Responsible Investment and a member of the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia.
