Manager CommentsThe Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund rose +13.87% in August, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +11.04% and taking 12-month performance to +15.31% vs the Index's -5.08%. Since inception in November 2017, the Fund has returned +27.69% p.a. against the Index's annualised return over the same period of +5.01%. The Fund has achieved an up-capture ratio since inception of 355%, highlighting its capacity to significantly outperform in rising markets. These returns have been achieved with higher volatility than the market as would be expected of a fund investing in micro and small cap companies.

Bennelong continue to seek to invest in high quality companies that they believe have solid growth prospects over the foreseeable future. They noted that, despite the inevitable short term volatility of the market, they believe the portfolio's investments are all incrementally building value which they expect should underpin decent returns over the long term.
