Fund OverviewThe Fund aims to outperform the return of the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 2% per annum after fees on a rolling three-year basis by combining indexed positions in the S&P/ASX 20 stocks with an actively managed exposure in primarily Australian stocks that are outside the S&P/ASX 20.

The Fund is managed as one portfolio but comprises and combines two separately managed exposures:

1. An investment in the top 20 stocks of the markets, which the Fund achieves by taking an indexed position in the S&P/ASX 20 Index; and

2. An investment in the stocks beyond the S&P/ASX 20 Index. This exposure is managed on an active basis using a fundamental core approach.

The Fund may also invest in securities expected to be listed on the ASX, securities listed or expected to be listed on other exchanges where such securities relate to ASX-listed securities.Derivative instruments may be used to replicate underlying positions and hedge market and company specific risks. The companies within the portfolio are primarily selected from, but not limited to, the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index.

The Fund typically holds between 40-55 stocks and thus is considered to be highly concentrated. This means that investors should expect to see high short-term volatility. The Fund seeks to achieve growth over the long-term, therefore the minimum suggested investment timeframe is 5 years.
Manager CommentsBennelong Twenty20 Australian Equities Fund rose 4.07% against the ASX 200 Accumulation Index's return of 4.73%. The Fund's performance was largely dictated by the performance of the S&P/ASX 20 Index. This quarter, the Fund's performance benefited from its stock picking in the Gaming and Leisure sector (such as The Star Entertainment Group), Consumer sector (BWX Limited).

For the month, the best performing sectors in the Australian market were the Resources and Banking sectors, which accounted for approximately 37% of the market's total value. The Fund struggled against the strength of the Resources sector, as it did not have any exposure. The largest detractor was IPH, an intellectual property professional services firm that met its earnings guidance but nevertheless was sold down presumably because the market had expected more.
