| Fund Overview | Insync invests in a concentrated portfolio of high quality companies that possess long 'runways' of future growth benefitting from Megatrends. Megatrends are multiyear structural and disruptive changes that transform the way we live our daily lives and result from a convergence of different underlying trends including innovation, politics, demographics, social attitudes and lifestyles. They provide important tailwinds to individual stocks and sectors, that reside within them. Insync believe this delivers exponential earnings growth ahead of market expectations. The fund uses Put Options to help buffer the depth and duration that sharp, severe negative market impacts would otherwide have on the value of the fund during these events. Insync screens the universe of 40,000 listed global companies to just 150 that it views as superior. This includes profitability, balance sheet performance, shareholder focus and valuations. 20-40 companies are then chosen for the portfolio. These reflect the best outcomes from further analysis using a proprietary DCF valuation, implied growth modelling, and free cash flow yield; alongside management, competitor, and industry scrutiny. The Fund may hold some cash (maximum of 5%), derivatives, currency contracts for hedging purposes, and American and/or Global Depository Receipts. It is however, for all intents and purposes, a 'long-only' fund, remaining fully invested irrespective of market cycles. |

| Fund Overview | The managers of the fund intend to maintain a concentrated portfolio of investments in ASX listed companies that they have investigated and consider to be undervalued. They will assess the attractiveness of potential investments using a number of common industry based measures, a proprietary in-house model and by speaking with management, industry experts and competitors. Once the managers form a view that an investment offers sufficient upside potential relative to the downside risk, the fund will seek to make an investment. If no appropriate investment can be identified the managers are prepared to hold cash and wait for the right opportunities to present themselves. |

| Fund Overview | Cyan C3G Fund is based on the investment philosophy which can be defined as a comprehensive, clear and considered process focused on delivering growth. These are identified through stringent filter criteria and a rigorous research process. The Manager uses a proprietary stock filter in order to eliminate a large proportion of investments due to both internal characteristics (such as gearing levels or cash flow) and external characteristics (such as exposure to commodity prices or customer concentration). Typically, the Fund looks for businesses that fit one or more of the following criteria: a) under researched, b) fundamentally undervalued, c) have a catalyst for re-rating. The Manager seeks to achieve this investment outcome by actively managing a portfolio of Australian listed securities. When the opportunity to invest in suitable securities cannot be found, the manager may reduce the level of equities exposure and accumulate a defensive cash position. Whilst it is the company's intention, there is no guarantee that any distributions or returns will be declared, or that if declared, the amount of any returns will remain constant or increase over time. The Fund does not invest in derivatives and does not use debt to leverage performance. However, companies in which the Fund invests may be leveraged. |
| Manager Comments | The Cyan C3G Fund has a track record of 8 years and 2 months and has outperformed the ASX Small Ordinaries Total Return Index since inception in August 2014, providing investors with an annualised return of 6.11% compared with the index's return of 5.04% over the same period. On a calendar year basis, the fund has only experienced a negative annual return once in the 8 years and 2 months since its inception. Over the past 12 months, the fund's largest drawdown was -45.18% vs the index's -24.12%, and since inception in August 2014 the fund's largest drawdown was -45.18% vs the index's maximum drawdown over the same period of -29.12%. The fund's maximum drawdown began in November 2021 and has lasted 10 months, reaching its lowest point during September 2022. During this period, the index's maximum drawdown was -24.24%. The Manager has delivered these returns with 1.08% more volatility than the index, contributing to a Sharpe ratio which has fallen below 1 five times over the past five years and which currently sits at 0.35 since inception. The fund has provided positive monthly returns 84% of the time in rising markets and 35% of the time during periods of market decline, contributing to an up-capture ratio since inception of 60% and a down-capture ratio of 83%. |

18 Oct 2022 - 'Small Talk' - Mood Swings
|
'Small Talk' - Mood Swings Equitable Investors October 2022 The market mood swings continued. Huge gains to get things rolling then a sharp reversal, felt most during the US trading session. Maybe the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) contributed to the positive start to the week globally when it raised interest rates by less than expected, leading to speculation the US Federal Reserve and others may be of a similar mind. But the Cleveland Fed President said that she has "not seen any evidence to warrant slowing the pace of hikes".
