Investment objective
To provide a diversified return delivered through a combination of income and capital gains.
Investment strategy
The Investment Portfolio will invest in the Atrium Real Assets Fund (ARAF), providing investors with exposure to a portfolio of illiquid assets diversified by asset class, position in the capital structure and geography, and selected for their potential to earn superior risk adjusted returns. ARAF has a broad mandate, with the ability to invest:
• In real assets that can provide portfolio diversification and that are characterised by having the potential for stable and growing cash flow, capital appreciation and/or inflation protection.
• In other illiquid assets that may provide portfolio diversification, including intangible assets.
• Directly, or indirectly through third party managed investment vehicles.
Atrium expects that the Investment Portfolio will be predominantly invested in assets providing exposure to the Australian economy but may be invested in assets providing exposure to other economies where the risks are considered appropriate. Atrium may, at its discretion, invest the Investment Portfolio in other securities that provide exposures that are consistent with the investment strategy.
Building portfolios that smooth out volatility
Atrium’s Risk Targeted investment approach aims to offer investors a smoother investment journey. By challenging conventional thinking and allocating to a wide array of investments, we construct truly diversified portfolios that seek to maximise opportunity and manage risk.
During market downturns we focus on minimizing losses to help investors achieve consistent growth over the long-term with less volatility. This is important to us because we care about the entire investment journey, not just the destination.
Our disciplined process is underpinned by three core principles that have enabled us to effectively pursue our investment objectives over a long time horizon.
Focus on risk first
Seek consistency of returns
Seek to preserve capital

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
What is volatility?
Volatility measures the fluctuations, or changes, in the price of an asset or market index. Assets with higher volatility generally have greater price changes, both positive and negative, and so higher volatility is generally an indication of higher risk.
What is the Sharpe Ratio?
The Sharpe Ratio measures returns relative to the volatility, or risk, that was taken to achieve that return. The higher the ratio, the better the risk-adjusted performance has been - in other words, the investment risks taken have delivered better returns to the portfolio.

Asset allocation
| Cash | 16.57% | |
| Private markets | 83.43% |
Atrium aims to achieve its investment objectives by investing across a range of asset classes on a global basis that provide exposure to different risk factors.
Each asset is included in the Portfolio for its ability to contribute to returns on a stand alone basis.
The investment universe comprises of 3 broad categories - Preservers, Growth Drivers and Diversifiers.
 | PreserversAssets that protect the portfolio during periods of heightened equity market volatility and preserve capital, such as cash, government bonds and high quality investment grade bonds. |
 | Growth DriversAssets that are expected to deliver higher rates of return over time with higher levels of associated volatility (risk). This predominantly comprises equities but also includes other assets that are highly correlated to equities such as listed property and infrastructure. |
 | DiversifiersAssets that generate additional real returns, with performance that is typically uncorrelated to the growth drivers and preservers within the portfolio.Importantly, they are a source of portfolio diversification away from equity market and interest rate risks, such as liquid alternatives and private markets. |

Market update
The March quarter was a strong one for equity markets, as markets gained comfort that monetary policy tightening has run its course, to be followed at some point over 2024 by a pivot to lower rates. However, bond yields rose as markets assumed the Federal Reserve may be slower to cut rates than expected around the turn of the year.
The US equity market gained 10.6% for the quarter. The quarter saw a notable broadening out of the rally, however the following were key driving factors:
• Strong buying of technology-linked and new-economy stocks, notably Nvidia as it posted very strong revenue growth for the fourth quarter. However, Apple and Tesla were conspicuous in bucking this trend.
• Easing financial conditions as the cash rate seems to have peaked, although this optimism was partially unwound late in the quarter.
The Australian market generated a return of +5.3% impacted by:
• Mixed results in the earnings reporting period, including a disappointing nickel write-down for Australia’s largest company, BHP; and
• A notable outperformance of small capitalisation stocks over the broader market.
10-year bond yields rose over the quarter as the market pushed out cuts in interest rates, as inflation readings in the US remained slightly more elevated than expected. June is seen as the earliest meeting for a cut by the US Federal Reserve Bank. Yields are also under upward pressure due to deteriorating US fiscal dynamics. Australian 10-year bond yields rose to a lesser extent, as there is some evidence that the sharp policy tightening is negatively impacting consumers.
The Australian dollar fell over the quarter, as the US dollar rose. Key Australian export prices were lower over the quarter. The gold price rose sharply, unusual in a period of rising bond yields and a stronger US dollar. The Japanese Yen remains at multi-decade lows against the US dollar, despite moving to exit its negative policy rate policy during the quarter.
Performance
Performance for the recent quarter, and the last 12 months, in ARAF has been positive but subdued. This return has been realised through a period of acute interest rate rises and compares favourably with strategies exposed solely to commercial real estate.
The Portfolio’s real estate holdings were largely stable, with the exception of 8 Central Avenue, Alexandria, an area that has delivered handsome returns to the portfolio over time. Exposure to this area was reduced substantially more than twelve months ago providing a measure of downside protection. Our development assets also consume capital that is not immediately reflected in valuations, which can be a drag on short-term performance. Other real estate valuations saw minor movement in comparison to that experienced over the course of the year, due to cap rate expansion offset by sustained, strong rental yields.
The private debt portfolio continued to provide positive contributions. These returns were offset by an impairment in one of the loans in our diversified private credit portfolios.
Portfolio changes
The portfolio management team allocated to Revolution Asset Management in this quarter, to replace exposures to single line loans, further diversifying our private equity backed lending and gaining access to Revolution’s well-seasoned and diversified warehouse lending vehicles.
Our Ion co-investment - that required the borrower to be placed into receivership last year - has stabilised, and we expect it to start producing cashflows in the coming quarter.
A diligence process has been completed with Payton Capital and we will look to allocate capital - through their commercial real estate lending platform to transactions in the coming quarter.
The portfolio management team’s focus remains heavily on allocating into performing and higher yielding debt instruments, while selectively assessing and allocating to the most attractive real asset transactions as they become available.
Our investment in the URBNSURF Wavepark group continues to improve, with the imminent opening of the Sydney park. Following substantial capital investment, this asset will normalise to become a cashflow generative business, ultimately to the benefit of equity holders.
We have chosen to redeem our agricultural investments with a view to allocating into higher yielding opportunities more in line with our targeted returns.
Outlook
We expect stability in the interest rate environment will transmit to commercial real estate valuations. At the same time, as inflation makes its way through the rental review cycle, we anticipate seeing improvements in the yield generated by our assets over the course of the year.
Our diversified private debt portfolios are showing some distress in selective sectors, specifically with borrowers that have contracted revenue streams. For some of the businesses their costs, particularly wages, have blown-out which, partnered with higher funding costs, has put these businesses under severe pressure.
