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 returned +3.4% in May, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +2.31% and taking annualised performance since inception in August 2014 to +24.58%. By contrast, the Index has returned +6.45% p.a. over the same period with slightly higher volatility. The Fund's Sortino ratio of 4.79 and down-capture ratio together highlight the Fund's capacity to protect investors' capital in falling markets.

In May, 20 of the Fund's 22 positions contributed positively. Key positive contributors included Axsess Today (+10%), Acrow Formwork (+16%), Experience Co (+11%), Readcloud, Roots (+27%).

The Fund has taken a handful of new investment positions in the past month, deploying a portion of the Fund's defensive cash balance. Cyan envisage further investment in the coming months as more new opportunities have now been identified. Cyan noted they have also reduced a couple of exposures as they are approaching Cyan's valuation target.
