Fund OverviewThe Fund runs a relatively concentrated portfolio which allows our best ideas to drive performance. The Fund also invests with a longer term time horizon than many in the investment management industry as we believe that, given time, the underlying value of a well chosen business will always prevail over short-term mis-pricing that may occur in a company's securities.

The Fund will invest in securities where Avenir believes the company is simply mis-priced and deeply undervalued and offers significant potential for revaluation. The Fund will also invest in companies that are subject to specific corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, restructurings, recapitalisations, spin-offs, demergers, management change, distressed situations, and other sharply delineated corporate events. The Fund will also selectively invest in short positions in companies where Avenir believes the company is significantly overvalued or where the company's business model is broken or structurally challenged.
Manager CommentsAvenir Value Fund had a sound March delivering 2.50% during the month bringing twelve month performance to 45.57% (MSCI ACWI 17.8%) with a very low vol of 6.92% (ASX 200 Acc vol 11.03%).

The Sharpe ratio was very high at 5.17 and the Fund had no draw-downs over the twelve months to March with the lowest return 1.05%. The up and down capture ratio were 0.79 and -1.76 respectively.

The Fund's geographic exposure was US 37%, W Europe 12%, Asia 6%, Australia 3% and Other 23%. Cash holdings were 17%.
