Fund OverviewThe Fund seeks to invest in opportunities that are considered by Sandon Capital to be trading below their intrinsic values. Sandon Capital applies both quantitative and qualitative screens to identity potential opportunities, which are then subject to detailed analysis.

Once an opportunity rates on valuation metrics, Sandon Capital assesses whether there is the potential for influencing changes that seek to narrow the discount between the market price and the assessed intrinsic value.
Manager CommentsThe Sandon Capital Activist Fund returned -2.00% in September, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index's -3.66%. Over 12 months to the end of September, the fund has returned -0.24% versus the index's -10.21%. The fund has outperformed the Index by an average of 3.84% per month over the past 6 months and has an up-capture ratio of over 150% for the 12 month to the end of September. Since inception in September 2009, the Fund has returned +10.73% p.a. vs the Index's annualised return of +6.86%. The Fund's down-capture ratio of 37.1% (since inception) highlights its capacity to significantly outperform in falling markets.

Key detractors for performance for the month were City Chic Collective Ltd (-1.2%) and Iluka Resources Ltd (-1.0%) with positive contributors including Boral Limited.

Sandon believe that global markets remain at the mercy of the COVID-19 pandemic, the US presidential election and China tensions, and that the Australian market has been buoyed by the government's significant stimulus announcements. They believe significant proportion of the portfolio is likely to benefit from Federal, State and Local infrastructure spending.
