| Fund Overview | Harvest Lane Asset Management employs a conservative, highly selective and opportunistic approach. Using their extensive knowledge in the area of corporate actions, the Fund's managers assess each opportunity based on a thoughtful, diligent and disciplined process and invest where they believe an opportunity exists to generate above average investment returns relative to the risk incurred. Investment decisions are made without speculating on market direction, with rigid risk controls enforced to minimise the risk of large losses of investor capital. The Fund invests in securities that are predominantly listed on the ASX and occasionally in those listed in other developed markets. Equity swaps and other derivatives may be used at times to reduce risk. The fund typically holds high levels of cash in the absence of sufficiently attractive opportunities to deploy investor capital in accordance with its objectives. |
| Manager Comments | Harvest Lane weathered August's volatile equity markets, hit as reporting season and macroeconomic factors combined to see the ASX300 down over 5% at one point. In spite of this the fund's performance managed to remain flat throughout the month, finally preserving capital with a return of just -0.17%. The Manager noted that this could well be a prelude to what happens when the broader equity market runs into difficulty . Harvest Lane reported they were seeing a large amount of deal flow, and were enjoying the benefits of being somewhat spoilt for choice. The fund composition changed markedly from the start of the month, with ten new positions added, and the manager expects the current deals on hand to support strong performance in the months ahead.
