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 has risen +19.55% over the past 12 months and has returned +19.40% p.a. with an annualised volatility of 11.28%. By contrast the ASX200 Accumulation Index has returned +8.46% p.a. with an annualised return of 10.88% since the Fund's inception. The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios, 1.49 and 3.04 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.65 and Sortino of 0.90 highlight the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns whilst avoiding the market's downside volatility. The Fund's down-capture ratio of 0.13% indicates that, on average, the Fund has captured only 0.13% of the market's downside during the months the market has fallen since the Fund's inception.

The Fund returned -3.2% in November. Cyan noted many of the companies in which they had enjoyed strong gains in prior months have endured selling pressure. They added that, while Cyan typically look at an investment timeframe in excess of 2 years, the stock market does value and price companies on a daily basis which can sometimes result in large fluctuations in short-term prices.

Despite the underwhelming monthly return, Cyan remain optimistic about the Fund's outlook. They noted that, in addition to the positive expectations for their core holdings, there has been a deluge of corporate activity and new issues, some of which have the potential to be attractive longer-term investments.
