Fund OverviewThe PVGF aims to provide superior medium to long-term capital growth, with some income, by managing a portfolio of predominantly Australian equities listed on any recognised Australian stock exchange.
Manager CommentsThe Fund achieved a return of 5.3% during January. Sector allocation was neutral with an under-weight in the Financial sector which out-performed. However this was largely offset by an overweight position in IT.

Stock selection was positive across most sectors. The stocks which contributed the most to performance included the banks, particularly National Australia Bank (up 9.4%), Computershare (up 16.5%) and Monadelphous (up 9.1%).

The only company to detract from performance was Whitehaven Coal (down 6.3%), which warned that first half earnings would be well below expectations due to weak coal markets and strong Australian dollar.

At a stock level, the fund prefers to combine companies with attractive growth characteristics which are witnessing positive revisions, particularly dividend
revisions. The fund is also favoring stocks with strong balance sheets which have the capacity and opportunity to put their balance sheets to work. The manager's view is that the Australian equity market is not expensive especially versus some other financial assets.
