Fund OverviewIntelligent Investor Funds Management places no emphasis on predicting short-term price movements or the direction of markets. The focus is on valuing securities and attempting to buy them for substantially less than their underlying value. The Intelligent Investor approach is to be patient, selective and only invest in opportunities where the gap between its estimate of value and the current security price is significant enough to compensate for the large degree of uncertainty inherent in valuing any security.
Manager CommentsThe Intelligent Investor Value Fund returned -0.69% over June and 36.89% over the financial year. The Fund has an annualised return of 11.3% pa since inception (31 October 2009), more than double the 5.1% pa return of the All Ordinaries Index.

The most significant contributors to performance were Vision Eye Institute, GBST and QBE while Astro Japan and UXC detracted from performance.

The Manager notes that there are more stocks that usual in the Value Fund currently. The Fund has been buying small amounts of a number of mining and mining services business as the investment market for these stocks has capitulated, particularly in the last few weeks of June. Liquidity has been a problem once the Fund started buying share prices have often quickly moved against it and the Fund has no intention of establishing large positions in any of these stocks.

But with some trading at significant discounts to net cash or huge discounts to net tangible assets and, in one particular example, less than 1.5 times earnings, the Manager's view is that a basket of them could perform well even if the worst China fears are realised. The number of holdings should remain under 20, but the Fund could end up with quite a few stocks in this space.
