Two good reasons to consider going short in Aussie equities Posted in News from the Network by David Moberley on November 2nd, 2020. The Australian market is uniquely concentrated. The top end of the index is dominated by a few big companies, and that’s supported by a long tail of small positions. This presents a difficult opportunity for an investor to express a negative view on one of those small companies, but also makes betting against the bigger companies a risk. Paradice Investment Management has traditionally been known as a long-only manager, but David Moberley seeks to combat this concentration by adding short selling to the toolbox. In this video, David shares his ‘four bucket’ strategy to identifying a company to short, and details the pros and cons of this investment approach. This video was produced by and originally appeared on Livewire Markets. David Moberley is a 2020 Conference Fund Manager, and Paradice Investment Management is a Core Fund Manager.
