a) Background
Morant Wright Management Limited (“MWM,” “we” or the “Firm”), was founded in 1999 by Stephen Morant and Ian Wright, the
principal owners, and specializes in Japanese equities and equity related securities. The Firm provides investment advice to
certain collective investment funds (the “Funds”) and segregated accounts for a range of clients. The Firm also manages the assets
of several individually managed accounts comprised in part of US Foundations and other US corporate entities. The Firm also acts
as a sub-adviser to the assets of other investment advisers.
b) Advisory Services
The Firm focuses its investment strategy on Japanese equities through a disciplined research-based approach to stock selection
The Firm seeks to generate absolute returns by investing in undervalued Japanese companies that have strong balance sheets
and/or business franchises. Stock selection is based on bottom up, fundamental analysis and starts with the balance sheet. Price
to Book and Enterprise Value/Operating Profit ratios are given prominence. MWM are value investors with a keen interest in
preserving capital. The Firm looks to identify companies whose share prices offer potential for significant appreciation over the
longer term, but without undue risk.
c) Tailored Advice and Client-Imposed Restrictions
Each MWM Fund and Separate Account has its own investment objectives, strategies, and restrictions. MWM prepares offering
materials with respect to each Fund that contains more detailed information, including a description of the investment objective
and strategy or strategies employed and related
restrictions. These serve as a limitation on MWM’s management. Separate
Account Clients can also impose restrictions on MWM’s management through client agreements, investment policy statements,
investment guidelines or otherwise.
While Separate Accounts may be reasonably tailored based on the individual needs of a client, as agreed with MWM, none of the
Funds is tailored to the individualized investment needs of any particular investor (“Investor”). An investment in a MWM Fund does
not create a client-adviser relationship between MWM and an Investor. Further discussion of the strategies, investments and risks
associated with an MWM Fund or Separate Account is included in the relevant materials for each type of Client.
Clients and Investors must consider whether a particular MWM Fund or advisory relationship is appropriate to their own
circumstances based on all relevant factors including, but not limited to, the Client’s or Investor’s own investment objectives,
liquidity requirements, tax situation and risk tolerance. Prospective Clients and Investors are strongly encouraged to undertake
appropriate due diligence, including but not limited to a review of relevant offering materials for the Funds or the client agreements,
investment policy statements, investment guidelines for Separate Accounts and the additional details about MWM’s investment
strategies, methods of analysis and related risks in Item 8 of this Brochure, before making an investment decision.
