Exciting new episode of Coolabah’s Complexity Premia Podcast out now!

Active Composite Bond PIE

Coolabah Active Composite Bond PIE Fund

Daily Liquidity, Long Duration, Actively Managed

Overview

The Coolabah Active Composite Bond PIE Fund seeks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns to the Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index through harnessing Coolabah’s active credit alpha style that focusses on systematically exploiting mispricings to generate capital gains in addition to yield.

It targets returns of 1% to 2% annually in excess of the Bloomberg AusBond Composite 0+ Yr Index (hedged to NZD), after management fees, over rolling 12 month periods. 

The Coolabah Active Composite Bond PIE Fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of cash securities and bonds, including government bonds, bank bonds, corporate bonds and asset-backed securities and residential-mortgage backed securities with an average target credit rating of A. It cannot invest in hybrids, equities, property, unrated securities, high yield bonds or sub-prime loans.

Coolabah adds-value by finding and exploiting bond mispricings in high grade credit markets that can generate capital gains or alpha in addition to the yield on these securities. 

To find these mispricings, you need a very large team coupled with significant quantitative resources, which is why we have 38 executives, including 12 analysts and 11 portfolio managers and traders spread across Sydney, Melbourne and London. It is also why we have built up to 30-40 proprietary quant valuation models in house and harnessed AI to help us in our search for mispricings.

Exploiting these mispricings to generate capital gains also requires a very active investment style. We are typically trading 50 to 100 times a day, on average $150 million per day.

The Coolabah Active Composite Bond PIE Fund is a portfolio investment entities (PIE). This is a New Zealand managed fund that offers investors special tax rules that apply to the income earned by the Fund. The PIE rules mean that investors pay tax on their own tax rate (the Prescribed Investor Rate or PIR), which is usually slightly lower than their income tax rate.
