Fund OverviewThe fund invests in listed (or soon to be listed) small/mid cap securities on the Australian or New Zealand Stock Exchange. It has the ability to invest in securities outside of the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index, but is precluded from investing in companies within the S&P/ASX 50 leaders Index. The fund aims to obtain returns greater than the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over rolling 3 year periods. The fund may also invest in listed trusts.

The manager utilises a robust investment process that combines in depth fundamental research with disciplined portfolio construction and risk controls.
Manager CommentsPengana's Emerging Companies Fund completed of strong year with a return of 5.2% for December, taking 12 month performance to 25.8%, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation index (which returned 20.3%) and strongly outperforming the Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index return of 6.6%.

Pengana's monthly reported noted glimmers of hope that the outlook for global growth in 2013 would not be as bad as investors had feared just six months ago as uncertainty in the US, Europe and China receded. In addition Pengana noted that the relatively high yield from equities vs bonds in a falling interest rate environment will benefit the flow towards equities.

In this environment the Fund added three new stocks to the portfolio over the past quarter, namely Charter Hall, SFG Australia and Vision Eye Institute, increased weightings to housing related stocks such as Fletcher Building and CSR, reduced weighting in Transpacific Industries and exited WDS due to the deteriorating outlook for the coal mining services division.
