Manager Comments

The Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund returned +1.64% in January, taking 12-month performance to +79.31% versus the ASX200 Accumulation Index's +24.72%. Since inception in November 2017, the Fund has returned +35.85% p.a. versus the index's +12.46%.

The Fund's top holdings at the end of the month included Viva Leisure, Bwx and Mader. Bennelong believe the portfolio is well positioned to provide attractive returns over time.

The Fund invests predominantly in micro and small-cap stocks listed on the ASX. It is managed via a research-intensive and predominantly bottom-up investment approach. The Fund focuses on high quality stocks and seeks to avoid the higher risk that usually comes with micro and small-cap stocks.

In their latest report, they give a brief overview of what they believe to be the key benefits of investing in emerging companies. Some of those include greater diversity, more growth potential and less broker coverage and investor attention.
