Fund OverviewThe Cyan C3G Fund operates as a wholesale unregistered managed investment scheme under a unit trust structure. The Fund primarily invests in ASX listed companies outside the ASX 100 and typically holds between 15-35 stocks.

Cyan C3G Fund is based on the investment philosophy which can be defined as a comprehensive, clear and considered process focused on delivering growth. These are identified through stringent filter criteria and a rigorous research process. The Manager uses a proprietary stock filter in order to eliminate a large proportion of investments due to both internal characteristics (such as gearing levels or cash flow) and external characteristics (such as exposure to commodity prices or customer concentration).

Typically, the Fund looks for businesses that are one or more of:
a) under researched,
b) fundamentally undervalued,
c) have a catalyst for re-rating.

The Manager seeks to achieve this investment outcome by actively managing a portfolio of Australian listed securities. When the opportunity to invest in suitable securities cannot be found, the manager may reduce the level of equities exposure and accumulate a defensive cash position. Whilst it is the company's intention, there is no guarantee that any distributions or returns will be declared, or that if declared, the amount of any returns will remain constant or increase over time. The Fund does not invest in derivatives and does not use debt to leverage the Fund's performance. However, companies in which the Fund invests may be leveraged.
Manager CommentsThe Cyan C3G Fund rose +2.59% in February, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +1.14% and taking 12-month performance to +27.92% vs the Index's +6.48%. Since inception in August 2014, the Fund has returned +16.75% p.a. vs the Index's +6.96%.

The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios (since inception), 0.93 and 1.31 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.44 and Sortino of 0.49, highlight its capacity to produce superior risk-adjusted returns while avoiding the market's downside volatility over the long-term. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios (since inception), 105.6% and 58.2% respectively, indicate that, on average, the Fund has outperformed in both the market's positive and negative months.

Strong portfolio performers in February included Raiz (RZI), Alcidion (ALC) and Singular Health (SHG). Key detractors included Readcloud (RCL) and Quickstep (QHL).
