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 CommentsJuly produced a strong result to complete the Fund's first year of operations to return 4.60% over which time the Small Cap sector struggled and declined by -1.09%. As a result the Fund out-performed the small cap benchmark by 5.69%. Commenting on the positive result the Manager noted that in July small caps had outperformed large caps for the third consecutive month, and that the fund had gained 10.82% over the same three months.

The Fund's stock holdings remained constant over the month at 31, and by month's end cash holdings were marginally higher at 9.2% of NAV. The portfolio continued to exhibit a growth bias and has considerable exposure to smaller undiscovered stocks, which the manager believes are the future growth stories. At the same time they continue to search and find interesting new and emerging small cap equity opportunities.
