| Fund Overview | The Bennelong Australian Equities Fund seeks quality investment opportunities which are under-appreciated and have the potential to deliver positive earnings. The investment process combines bottom-up fundamental analysis with proprietary investment tools that are used to build and maintain high quality portfolios that are risk aware. The investment team manages an extensive company/industry contact program which helps identify and verify various investment opportunities. The companies within the portfolio are primarily selected from, but not limited to, the S&P/ASX 300 Index. The Fund may invest in securities listed on other exchanges where such securities relate to the ASX-listed securities. The Fund typically holds between 25-60 stocks with a maximum net targeted position of an individual stock of 6%. |
| Manager Comments | Stocks within the Fund generally held up well despite the difficult market. Leading the contributors was Aristocrat, the slot machine manufacturer. Other contributors to the Fund's outperformance were Treasury Wine Estates, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare and Reliance Worldwide. Also, contributing was an underweight exposure to the Banking sector. The investment team continues to remain focused on the company fundamentals, particularly in an environment of macro and political uncertainty. |
