Fund OverviewThe Collins Street Value Fund is an index unaware fund which seeks to create strong investment returns over the medium and long term with capital preservation a priority.

The managers of the fund intend to maintain a concentrated portfolio of investments in ASX listed companies that they have investigated and consider to be undervalued. They will assess the attractiveness of potential investments using a number of common industry based measured, a proprietary in-house model and by speaking with management, industry experts and competitors. Once the managers form a view that an investment offers sufficient upside potential relative to the downside risk, the fund will seek to make an investment.

If no appropriate investment can be identified the managers are prepared to hold cash and wait for the right opportunities to present themselves.
Manager CommentsThe Collins St Value Fund fell by -0.27% in November after a Monash IVF downgrade and a board fight at BPS Technology paired back gains from earlier in the month. Since inception in February 2016, the Fund has returned +14.82% per annum. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios since inception indicate that, on average, the Fund has achieved positive performance in rising markets and has significantly outperformed in falling markets.

The Manager noted they continue to track economic activity and seek out value on a stock level, and that they currently own a number of positions that offer significant promise. The Fund invests in sustainable cash-flow generating businesses that are trading at significant discounts to their underlying worth.

In the Fund's latest report, Collins St briefly discuss cryptocurrencies. They noted they don't offer a view when asked other than to note that most investors in the asset appear to be unsophisticated, and that current prices appear to be disconnected from the fundamental value of the underlying technology. Collins St continue to watch with fascination and a little trepidation.
