Australian Mid Cap
Overview
The Paradice Australian Mid Cap Fund was established in September 2006 with Matthew Riordan as Portfolio Manager since its inception.
The Fund typically invests in 40-60 companies listed outside of the S&P/ASX 50, providing investors with an exposure to a diversified portfolio of emerging Australian businesses.
We believe equity markets are often inefficient due to investor emotion, short-term thinking and too much reliance on a single aspect of a company’s financial health – it’s profit and loss statement. Our key focus is on management, current and future cash flows and the quality of the balance sheet.
Our expertise lies in evaluating a company’s market position taking into account all factors from balance sheet, macroeconomic drivers through an extensive visitation program.
Objective
The Paradice Australian Mid Cap Fund aims to outperform the benchmark of S&P/ASX Mid-Small Total Return Index over a three to five year period (after management costs and before tax).

The iNAV published by the Fund is indicative only and might not accurately reflect the underlying value of the Fund. The Issuer or its appointed agents gives no guarantees that the iNAV will be published continuously or that it will be up to date or free from error.
