Fund Overview
Loftus Peak is a global fund manager with a focus on investment in listed disruptive businesses. We have extensive experience and bring significant discipline to the process. The Orca Global Disruption Fund comprises some of the best and fastest-growing companies in the world - companies that we believe are driving change across all industries globally, constructed on the basis of strict criteria and included at carefully determined valuations. Holdings include large capitalisation names like Microsoft and Google (Alphabet) as well as many others that we expect to be household names in the future, such as Advanced Micro Devices and Qualcomm. This approach to investment across a wide range of global industries lowers the concentration risk inherent in the typical Australian portfolio, with its heavy skew toward banks, resources and the Australian dollar.
