Fund OverviewThe Fund is a general long/short equity fund principally investing in listed securities in Australia and internationally. The Fund may also invest in unlisted securities which are expected to list within six months of purchase. The Fund is not a market neutral fund and accordingly may switch between net long positions and net short positions. The Fund has the provision for short sales and the use of derivatives as determined by the Manager.

The Manager does not target a specific investment style. The Manager's investment strategy is based on attempting to pick emerging trends in the equity and commodity markets.
Manager CommentsThe continuing strength of the smaller cap resources sector helped Mathews Velocity Fund to another strong month in December, bringing year end performance for 2010 to +37.57%.

The coal sector was a strong contributor with strengthening coking coal prices assisting the fund's holding in Bathurst which rose 39%, while Rey Resources gained 67%, and Gloucester Coal rose 19%.

Gross exposure as at the end of the month stood at 129% (113% long and 15% short) with net exposure at 98%, with equities accounting for approximately 95% of gross with commodities via futures and options the balance. Sector allocations remain strongly skewed to the resources sector with Coal (37%), Gold (32%) and Base Metals and Energy (10%) dominating while the top 5 positions accounted for 37% of NTA and the top 10 56%.
