Fund OverviewThe Cyan C3G Fund operates as a wholesale unregistered managed investment scheme under a unit trust structure. The Fund primarily invests in ASX listed companies outside the ASX 100 and typically holds between 15-35 stocks.

Cyan C3G Fund is based on the investment philosophy which can be defined as a comprehensive, clear and considered process focused on delivering growth. These are identified through stringent filter criteria and a rigorous research process. The Manager uses a proprietary stock filter in order to eliminate a large proportion of investments due to both internal characteristics (such as gearing levels or cash flow) and external characteristics (such as exposure to commodity prices or customer concentration).

Typically, the Fund looks for businesses that are one or more of:
a) under researched,
b) fundamentally undervalued,
c) have a catalyst for re-rating.

The Manager seeks to achieve this investment outcome by actively managing a portfolio of Australian listed securities. When the opportunity to invest in suitable securities cannot be found, the manager may reduce the level of equities exposure and accumulate a defensive cash position. Whilst it is the company's intention, there is no guarantee that any distributions or returns will be declared, or that if declared, the amount of any returns will remain constant or increase over time. The Fund does not invest in derivatives and does not use debt to leverage the Fund's performance. However, companies in which the Fund invests may be leveraged.
Manager CommentsThe Cyan C3G Fund posted a strong result in July, returning +2.3% and delivering a milestone three year cumulative return of 25% p.a., exceeding the ASX Small Industrials Accumulation Index with lower volatility than any of the comparable ASX Indices. The monthly return was delivered in a volatile market with the Small Industrials retracing -0.2% by month's end, with a broad group of contributors to the positive return, and with the fund increasing positions in a number of core holdings while initiating some new ones. There were a handful of positions that fell slightly throughout the month, including MSL Solutions (MPW) and Skydive the Beach (SKB), but not significantly enough to materially impact the Fund's overall return.

The Fund's portfolio is diversified across 24 individual holdings with no position accounting for more than 6.5% of the total. The stocks lie across 6 broad industry sectors including consumer staples and discretionary, industrials, health care, technology and financials with a weighted average market cap of approximately $250m.
