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 Companies Fund rose +9.05% in November, taking 12-month performance to +20.09% vs the ASX200 Accumulation Index's -1.98%. Since inception in October 2015, the Fund has returned +14.64 p.a. vs the Index's +9.50%. While having achieved significant outperformance relative to the market since inception, the Fund has also performed well during the market's negative months, as highlighted by its Sortino ratio of 1.22 vs the Index's 0.71 and down-capture ratio (since inception) of 45.7%.

Key positive contributors for the month included Helloworld Travel, News Corp and Southern Cross Media. Key detractors were Bapcor, Breville Group and Collins Foods.

Prime Value's view is that the outlook appears to be positive for equities; an impending global rollout of multiple vaccines with high efficacy, global economic growth likely to rebound strongly in 2021 as economies re-open, and interest rates likely to stay very low for many years - a supportive combination. They remain optimistic on the outlook for the Fund and continue to find many appealing new investments.
