Manager CommentsThe Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund rose +4.56% in February, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +3.56% and taking 12-month performance to +37.02% vs the Index's +6.48%. Since inception in November 2017, the Fund has risen +30.38% p.a. against the Index's +7.69%.

The Fund's Sortino ratio since inception of 1.19 vs the Index's 0.49 highlights its capacity to avoid the market's downside volatility over the long-term. The Fund's up-capture ratio (since inception) of 350.92% indicates that, on average, it has risen more than 3 times as much as the market during the market's positive months. The Fund has achieved up-capture ratios above 284% over the past 12, 24, 36 months and since inception.

Bennelong continue to seek to invest in high quality companies that they believe have solid growth prospects over the foreseeable future. They note that, despite the market's inevitable short-term volatility, they believe the portfolio's investments are all incrementally building value which they expect will underpin strong outperformance over the long-term. The portfolio remains diversified across sector and risk-return drivers.
