Fund OverviewThe Fund aims to outperform the return of the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 2% per annum after fees on a rolling three-year basis by combining indexed positions in the S&P/ASX 20 stocks with an actively managed exposure in primarily Australian stocks that are outside the S&P/ASX 20.

The Fund is managed as one portfolio but comprises and combines two separately managed exposures:

1. An investment in the top 20 stocks of the markets, which the Fund achieves by taking an indexed position in the S&P/ASX 20 Index; and

2. An investment in the stocks beyond the S&P/ASX 20 Index. This exposure is managed on an active basis using a fundamental core approach.

The Fund may also invest in securities expected to be listed on the ASX, securities listed or expected to be listed on other exchanges where such securities relate to ASX-listed securities.Derivative instruments may be used to replicate underlying positions and hedge market and company specific risks. The companies within the portfolio are primarily selected from, but not limited to, the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index.

The Fund typically holds between 40-55 stocks and thus is considered to be highly concentrated. This means that investors should expect to see high short-term volatility. The Fund seeks to achieve growth over the long-term, therefore the minimum suggested investment timeframe is 5 years.
Manager CommentsThe Bennelong Twenty20 Australian Equities Fund rose +2.72% in July, taking annualised performance since inception in November 2009 to +10.55% versus the ASX200 Accumulation Index's +8.66% per annum. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios since inception, 106.94% and 95.21% respectively, indicate that the Fund has outperformed in both rising and falling markets on average.

As at the end of July, the Fund's weightings had been increased in the Discretionary, Health Care and Communication sectors, and decreased in the REITs, Consumer Staples, Industrials, Energy, Financials and Materials sectors. The Fund's top 10 holdings included CBA, BHP Billiton, CSL, Goodman, Westpac Banking, Aristocrat Leisure, ANZ and NAB.
