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.

Manager CommentsThe MHOR Australian Small Cap Fund returned +5.33% in December, marking 8 consecutive positive months. The Fund has returned +23.03% over the past 12 months versus the ASX200 Total Return Index's +11.80%. Since inception in August 2016 the Fund has returned +17.86% per annum, outperforming the Index by +6.6% per annum. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios since inception indicate that, on average, the Fund has captured 61% of the market's upside and has significantly outperformed when the market has fallen.

MHOR noted they are excited about the opportunity ahead of them in 2018. They expect the quarterly 4C results of a number of their smaller companies to be positive catalysts for a number of those stocks. The rest of the portfolio will report half year results in February, MHOR expect to uncover some new opportunities during the results period.
