Fund OverviewAllard Partners is an absolute return, long only equity investor with a single mission to provide its clients with a net compound rate of return on their capital of 15% per annum over the long term. With offices in Hong Kong, India and Australia, Allard invests in quoted companies in the Asia Pacific region.

Allard's investment approach has remained consistent throughout their history: That is to invest prudently but proactively in well-managed businesses that achieve superior returns on capital in industries with long-term growth potential.

The Manager uses both broad top-down guidance and detailed bottom-up analysis to identify suitable markets, industries and companies. Although long only investors, a critical factor in their strategy and performance is the ability to hold cash when they cannot find companies that meet their criteria or are at a sufficient discount to their valuations.
Manager CommentsThe Allard Investment Fund rose +2.26% in August. Since inception in July 2003, the Fund has achieved an annualised return of +9.21% with a volatility of 8.06. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios since inception are 0.64 and 0.92 respectively, superior to the Index's Sharpe ratio of 0.44 and Sortino ratio of 0.52.
 
The Fund's latest report shows that holdings in cash and fixed income have increased to 23.7% of the portfolio, up from 17.6% as at the end of July, whilst all other holdings aside from those in the utilities sector have decreased.
 
The portfolio remains highly concentrated, with 38.3% of NAV held in the Fund's top 5 stocks. Geographically, Hong Kong and China make up most of the portfolio (44.3%), followed by India (12.3%), Singapore (11.5%), Korea (5.6%), Vietnam (1.6%) and Indonesia (1.0%).
