Fund OverviewThe MHOR Australian Small Cap Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over a rolling 5-year period after fees and expenses. The portfolio is made up of 25-75 stocks listed on the ASX or NZX. The fund may also invest in stocks to be listed within the next 12 months. The portfolio is constructed to achieve an aggregate exposure that delivers a growth profile that is materially above that of the broader market. The fund may hold between 0% - 50% of its assets in cash.

MHOR looks for investment that exhibit the following set of characteristics:
-Opportunity - to take advantage of growth and positive alignment with industry themes and trends.
-Quality business - competitively advantaged product or service offering.
-Financial flexibility - appropriately resourced to capture its opportunity.
-Management - with the vision and capability to bring it all together.
-Fundamentally undervalued.

MHOR also considers labour standards, environmental, social and ethical considerations when making investment decisions but only to the extent that these factors impact the assessment of risk or return. The minimum suggested investment timeframe is 3-5 years.
Manager CommentsMHOR Small Cap Fund returned +1.57% for the month of March, compared to the Small Ordinaries index which returned +2.66%. At the end of March, the portfolio had 31 stocks and 1.9% in cash, with considerable exposure to the TMT and Industrials sectors.

The Fund's largest positive contributions came from Spirit Telecom (ST1), NextDC (NXT) and AirXpanders (AXP). While the major detractor was Ellex Medical Lasers (ELX). The portfolio continues to have growth bias and has considerable exposure to stocks that the investment team believes to have attractive undervalued growth opportunities. The team continues to search and find new emerging small cap equity stories with little or no institutional ownership, picking those that have the scope to be discovered by larger small-cap funds has so far served the fund well.
