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 rose +3.2% in March, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +2.47% and taking annualised performance since inception in August 2014 to +18.74% vs the Index's +6.74%. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios, 1.45 and 2.86 respectively, relative to the Index's Sharpe ratio of 0.48 and Sortino ratio of 0.63 highlight the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns whilst avoiding much of the market's downside volatility. In addition, the Fund's down-capture ratio of -3.4% indicates that, on average, the Fund has risen during months where the market has fallen.

Cyan noted general market conditions have improved and the extreme day-to-day volatility has subsided, however, post the February reporting season, individual stock performances at the smaller end have remained spotty. In March, a number of the Fund's positions rallied well and continue to enjoy strong momentum. Top contributors included Afterpay (+11%), AMA Group (12%), Atomos (+45%) and Splitit (+45%).

The portfolio currently consists of 25 ASX listed emerging companies at varying stages of maturity along the growth stage of their lifecycle. Cyan have recently invested in a handful of opportunities which they saw emerge at the smaller end of the market and look forward to enjoying the rewards as they grow.
