The Fund's Sortino ratio (since inception) of 1.10 vs the Index's 0.46 highlights its capacity to avoid the market's downside volatility over the long-term. The Fund's up-capture ratio (since inception) of 328.06% indicates that, on average, it has significantly outperforming during the market's positive months. The Fund has maintained up-capture ratios above 225% over the past 12, 24 and 36 months.

True to the Fund's investment style, 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 ups and downs of the market in the short term, they believe the portfolio's investments are all incrementally building value which they expect will underpin decent returns over the long-term.

The portfolio remains reasonably diversified across sector and risk-return drivers. Bennelong believe it is currently well set up for attractive returns over the long-term, regardless of the market's short-term activity.
