The DNR Capital Australian Equities Income Portfolio is designed for investors who are seeking a greater level of income and who can make use of franking credits.

Investment philosophy

DNR Capital believes a focus on quality companies will enhance returns when it is combined with a thorough valuation overlay. We seek to identify quality companies that are mispriced by overlaying our quality filter, our Quality Web', with a strong valuation discipline. The portfolio is high conviction, after-tax focused and invests for the medium-to-long term.

Investment strategy

The DNR Capital Australian Equities Income Portfolio has an investment style best described as style neutral' with above-average income and associated franking credits. The stock selection process has a strong bottom-up discipline and focuses on buying quality companies at reasonable prices.

The DNR Capital Australian Equities Income Portfolio also has a preference for companies that have high and sustainable dividend capability, strong profit-to-cash conversion, and relatively assured earnings growth. Companies that generate franking credits predominate.

Quality companies are defined as being those companies with the following six attributes:

• earnings strength (particularly improving return)
  
• superior industry position
  
• a sound balance sheet
  
• strong management
  
• low environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk.
  
• income sustainability and growth

The focus of the portfolio is on yield. We are focused on a growing, sustainable dividend yield above the market.

Where a company possesses quality characteristics then it is eligible for inclusion in the portfolio. However, it must also represent value and sit comfortably within the portfolio construction requirements.

A range of valuation methodologies are used depending on the nature of the company being assessed to identify mispriced opportunities.

The portfolio construction process is influenced by a top-down economic appraisal and also considers the risk characteristics of the portfolio, such as stock and sector correlations.
