About Monash Investors
In 2012, Monash Investors was established by one of Australia’s most experienced fund managers in Simon Shields, the previous head of equities at both UBS and Colonial First State, and Shane Fitzgerald a senior equity analyst from UBS and JPMorgan.
We aim to identify businesses which are likely to undergo step-changes (either positive or negative) in their prospects which will lead to oversized share price movements. We draw upon our experience in order to exploit recurring business situations and patterns of behaviour, to indentify and invest in a portfolio of compelling stock opportunities.
