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 CommentsIntelligent Investor Value Fund had a strong July returning 10.45% (ASX 200 Acc 5.2%), and 39.09% for the previous 12 months (Index 23.75%), driven by sound stock selection.

Notably over the last 12 months the Fund's up-capture ratio has been 0.85 with the down-capture ratio -0.74, while the Sharpe ratio has been 2.65 as compared to 1.64 for the ASX 200 Acc.

The Manager notes that gains were wide spread across a number of stocks and that given commodity prices have fallen substantially over the past six months, they had been scouring the market for opportunities in mining and mining services companies. As expected there were a lot of companies with serious problems in this area but amongst the wreckage the Fund had found a few interesting opportunities. Unfortunately the panic was short-lived and some of the stocks the Fund had been trying to buy had already risen significantly off their lows.
