Fund Overview | Harvest Lane Asset Management employs a conservative, highly selective and opportunistic approach. Using their extensive knowledge in the area of corporate actions, the Fund's managers assess each opportunity based on a thoughtful, diligent and disciplined process and invest where they believe an opportunity exists to generate above average investment returns relative to the risk incurred. Investment decisions are made without speculating on market direction, with rigid risk controls enforced to minimise the risk of large losses of investor capital. The Fund invests in securities that are predominantly listed on the ASX and occasionally in those listed in other developed markets. Equity swaps and other derivatives may be used at times to reduce risk. The fund typically holds high levels of cash in the absence of sufficiently attractive opportunities to deploy investor capital in accordance with its objectives. |
Manager Comments | Harvest Lane noted that after three months of comparatively outsized returns to start FY 20-21, the highlight of the month was not so much the continuation of recent performance, but the breadth and quality of new opportunities that appeared. They have said that deal flow in recent months has mainly been focused in the smaller end of the market while confidence in M&A has remained low and that there has been a general lack of larger size transactions for various reasons. Harvest Lane are encouraged by recent results and believe the portfolio is primed to continue its run of good performance to finish the year. |
