Fund OverviewThe Fund utilises a long term investment approach focused on capital preservation and absolute wealth accumulation.

Our investment objectives are:

1) To minimise the risk of permanent capital loss
2) Generate a net return of 10% through the economic cycle

An unconstrained, concentrated approach focused on superior risk-adjusted returns.

The investment strategy:

- targets long-term capital growth in a prudent manner, with an emphasis on capital preservation and low volatility in returns
- aims to outperform in markets where equities are down
- diversifies investments across asset classes and duration to reduce risk while maintaining relatively concentrated exposure to attractive investment opportunities
- is an application of the Manager's investment process, that has no institutional constraints and is completely benchmark unaware
Manager CommentsThe Datt Capital Absolute Return Fund rose +8.24% in June, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +5.63% and taking 12-month performance to +23.23% against the Index's -7.68%. Since inception in August 2018, the Fund has returned +12.42% p.a. against the Index's annualised return over the same period of +0.82%.

The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios for performance since inception, 91.22% and 52.89% respectively, highlight the Fund's capacity to perform in line with the market during the market's positive months while protecting investors' capital during the market's negative months.

At month-end, the portfolio comprised 30% CRE debt, 59% equities and 11% cash. The portfolio remains directed towards growth opportunities and special situations where Datt Capital feel there remains considerable upside despite the forecast weaker macroeconomic environment. Datt noted they are finding many interesting opportunities in the current environment.

Both the CRE debt and equity portfolios continue to perform to Datt's expectations.
