The Atlas Australian Equity Income Fund (formerly Atlas High Income Property Fund) ARSN 618 658 567 (the Fund) is an open ended registered fund for retail and wholesale investors, which will seek to capture returns from investing in Australian ASX listed property securities. The Fund’s objective is to outperform the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index over rolling 5-year periods.
Atlas Funds Management Pty Ltd (Atlas) has been appointed as the investment manager to the Fund. Atlas is a Sydney based boutique asset manager, established in 2017 specialising in investments in listed and unlisted securities and the enhancing of income generated by implementing a call option strategy.
The Fund seeks to capture returns from investing in some of Australia’s ASX listed property securities, with the objective of increasing the income generated by implementing a call option selling (writing) strategy. A proportion of the income received from selling the call options may be used to purchase put options to reduce capital risk.
Atlas will use its quantitative and qualitative analysis to identify property securities within the ASX listed property sector that can be expected to:
- deliver a consistently higher than average distribution yield; and
- allow the fund manager to generate additional income via writing call options over the property securities held.
The Fund will generally target holding between 8 – 15 stocks (either directly or indirectly) on an ongoing basis.
Additionally, between 60%-85% of the securities held (by value) will be subject to an overlay strategy of selling call options. These options will be security specific over-the-counter or exchange-traded options or index options (S&P/ASX200 A-REIT). Atlas will also look at buying put options, either security specific over-the-counter or exchange-traded options, or index options (S&P/ASX200 A-REIT) to protect capital.
