Pendal MidCap Fund

More ideas.
More potential.

An Australian midcap fund targeting the sweet spot of ASX-listed companies
offering the potential for strong growth and diversification.
Midcaps outperform the broader market The midcap sector has outperformed both large-caps and small caps over the long term, with better risk-reward characteristics The addition of specific midcap exposure can improve a portfolio’s long-term return and improve its risk characteristics. Pendal MidCaps covers the 100 ASX-listed stocks ranging 51st biggest by market cap to the 150th biggest. Read more
More opportunities in a diverse sector Midcap portfolios expose investors to a broader and more balanced opportunity set than large caps. They are less concentrated and offer better access to fast-growing sectors such as battery metals and technology. Midcaps represent a higher average earnings-per-share profile than large or small caps and is a rich environment for takeovers. Read more
The timing is right In 2022, growth-style stocks underperformed amid a sharp lift in bond yields. This macro headwind has receded and the focus has returned to fundamentals. We are coming back to a more balanced environment which should favour this sector and Pendal’s approach to it. Read more

Source of fund performance data: Pendal. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. This information is for general information and is not to be regarded as a securities recommendation. Where performance returns are quoted “After fees” then this assumes reinvestment of distributions and is calculated using exit prices which take into account management costs but not tax you may pay as an investor. Where “Growth” returns are shown, these represent the percentage change in the value of units in the fund excluding any distributions paid. “Distribution” returns equal the difference between the “Total return (After fees)”, and the Growth return. Where performance returns are quoted “After fees and tax”, they are calculated using exit prices which take into account management costs and taxes paid within the trust up to a maximum of 15%. Where performance returns are quoted “Before fees and tax”, they exclude the effects of management costs and any taxes. You can view our Unit Pricing Discretions Policy here.
