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 fell -0.28% in January. Since inception in July 2014, the Fund has returned +28.15% per annum with an annualised volatility of 10.26%. The ASX200 Accumulation Index has returned +6.65% per annum with an annualised volatility of 11.46% over the same period. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios are 2.31 and 7.29 respectively, significantly superior to the Index's Sharpe ratio of 0.46 and Sortino ratio of 0.60 for performance over the same period.

Key positive contributors included Spirit Telecom (+33%), Afterpay Touch (+23%), Axsess Today (+18%). Key negative contributors included Longtable (-15%), Experience Co (-12%), Motorcycle Holdings (-11%).

In light of the recent market correction, Cyan noted they don't pretend to know what the market will do in the coming weeks, however, they do know that the companies in which the Fund is invested are in strong positions and will be inherently more valuable in the coming 12 months. Throughout the rest of February, Cyan plan to focus on company fundamentals as the Fund's holdings report their earnings results and provide outlook statements.
