Fund OverviewThe Investment Manager will be primarily focussed on investing in companies listed in the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index while retaining capacity to invest up to 30% of the Fund in ASX listed companies outside this benchmark. The Investment Manager believes this approach offers attractive, under researched investment opportunities that can provide capital upside and growing dividend income over rolling 5-year periods.

The Investment Manager follows a defined investment process which is underpinned by detailed bottom up fundamental analysis, overlayed with sectoral and macroeconomic research. This is combined with an extensive company visitation program where we endeavour to meet with company management and with other stakeholders such as suppliers, customers and industry bodies to improve our information set.

Surrey Asset Management defines its investment process as Qualitative, Quantitative and Value Latencies (QQV). In essence, the Investment Manager thoroughly researches an investment's qualitative and quantitative characteristics in an attempt to find value latencies not yet reflected in the share price and then clearly defines a roadmap to realisation of those latencies.

Developing this roadmap is a key step in the investment process. By articulating a clear pathway as to how and when an investment can realise what the Investment Manager sees as latent value, defines the investment proposition and lessens the impact of cognitive dissonance. This is undertaken with a philosophical underpinning of fact-based investing, transparency, authenticity and accountability.
Manager CommentsThe Surrey Australian Equities Fund has risen +16.21% over the past 12 months, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +19.32% and taking annualised performance since inception in June 2018 to +10.17% vs the Index's +7.33%.

The Fund returned -1.49% in January. Top performers included Pointsbet Holdings, Sezzle, Uniti Wireless and Lifestyle Communities. Heading into reporting season, Surrey are comfortable with their portfolio and look forward to the large number of company meetings they have planned.

Surrey made various changes to the portfolio over January and ended the month with 5% in cash and 30 individual holdings. Top holdings included Auckland International Airports, Mineral Resources, Omni Bridgeway, Pointsbet and Unitit Group. By sector, the portfolio was most heavily weighted towards the Industrials and IT sectors.
