Fund OverviewThe Fund invests in ASX-listed securities of small and micro capitalised companies that are covered by the investment research capabilities of Bennelong Australian Equity Partners ('BAEP').

The Fund may invest in securities expected to be listed on the ASX within 12 months. The Fund may also invest in securities listed, or expected to be listed, on other exchanged where such securities relate to ASX-listed securities
Manager CommentsThe Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund rose +9.89% in May, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +5.53%, taking 12-month performance to +18.73% versus the Index's -6.70%. The Fund has returned +22.81% p.a. since inception in November 2017 against the Index's +3.14%.

May saw a continuation of the recovery in the stock market. Bennelong noted this was particularly evident among micro and small cap stocks. Despite the high month-to-month stock price volatility, Bennelong believe the companies in which the Fund invests are incrementally building value as the months turn over.

The Fund has taken the volatility as an opportunity to make a number of changes to the portfolio that Bennelong think will enhance the risk-return settings. At the same time, they believe the Fund remains reasonably diversified across sector and risk-return drivers. The top holdings include Viva Leisure (gyms), Mader Group (mining services) and BWX (personal care products).
