A unique investor-first approach ensuring dependable after-tax returns.
Hamilton12 focuses on above benchmark investment returns by blending the best of traditional passive and active management investment approaches.
​
As an advocate and early-mover in active systematic investing, Hamilton12 applies a disciplined, rules-based approach guided by extensive research and deep market knowledge to develop investment products tailored to our investors' needs and designed to optimise after-tax outcomes.
Evidence Based Investing
An investment approach where decisions are made based on well-substantiated and empirically supported research and data.
Systematic Investing
An approach to investing in which a predetermined set of rules or strategies is followed consistently over time to create a disciplined and methodical way of investing.
Hamilton12 is dedicated to delivering consistent returns for investors by combining disciplined investment and risk management, insights from industry and academic research, operational efficiency, and a steadfast commitment to putting investors first.
Our approach to portfolio construction is grounded in rigorous theory, careful market segmentation and principled strategies to minimise exposure to risk while maximising surety of return.
​
The portfolio is rebalanced six times per year using a rules-based approach that allocates the portfolio towards stocks offering high-franked dividend yield while maintaining diversification across industry sectors.
All portfolio stocks are drawn from the All-Ordinaries index and are projected to pay franked dividends within six months of a rebalancing date. The stock selection follows a systematic and objective analysis of analyst dividend forecasts, historical franking levels, company-specific timing of ex-dividend dates, and share prices on portfolio rebalancing dates.
As part of Hamilton12’s risk mitigation strategy, portfolio weights take account of the portfolio stocks’ relative market capitalisation and liquidity.
​
The fund holds approximately 100 stocks, diversified across industry sectors and stocks with large market capitalisation and medium market capitalisation (stocks in the S&P/ASX 200 and stocks outside the S&P/ASX 200 but in the All Ordinaries Index).
Although every investment entails a degree of risk, Hamilton12 adeptly reduces risk in its investment portfolio through the utilisation of diverse monitoring procedures, with the goal of minimising overall portfolio risk.
One example of such an approach is the implementation of portfolio formation rules, which ensure that the portfolio maintains diversification across all 11 FTSE Industry Classification Benchmark (ICB) sectors.
