Fund OverviewThe Prime Value Emerging Opportunities Fund invests in companies in the diversified emerging companies sector. The Fund seeks to achieve superior total returns over the medium to long term without the constraints of a benchmark. It is a long only concentrated fund that leverages Prime Value's fundamental research capabilities while minimizing the risk of permanent capital loss.

The Fund is comprised of a concentrated portfolio of securities outside the ASX100. The fund may invest up to 10% in global equities but for this portion typically only invests in New Zealand. Investments are primarily made in ASX listed and other exchange listed Australian securities, however, it may also invest up to 10% in unlisted Australian securities.

The Fund is designed for investors seeking medium to long term capital growth who are prepared to accept fluctuations in short term returns. The suggested minimum investment time frame is 3 years.
Manager CommentsThe Prime Value Emerging Opportunities Fund returned 0.71% for the month of October outperforming the funds internal benchmark of 0.66% (8% p.a.). The fund outperformed the ASX Small Ordinaries for the month which returned 0.46% and slightly lagged the ASX 200 Accumulation index which returned 1.93%. For the 12 months to the end of October the fund has returned 14.75% versus the ASX 200 Accumulation Index return of -8.15% and outperformed the fund internal benchmark by 6.75%. The fund has produced strong risk adjusted returns by capturing 150% of the positive market in the last 12 months and only participating in 75% of negative markets.

Key positive contributors for the month were Mainstream, Mainfreight and Oceania Healthcare with the key detractors being Austal, Omni Bridgeway and EQT Holdings.

Prime have noted that the portfolio remains well balanced with a number of attractively priced companies that will benefit from an effective vaccine (e.g. travel, leisure, cyclicals), while being heavily weighted to those which can grow with little dependence on the economic cycle.
