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 Opportunities Fund rose +0.59% in February, taking 12-month performance to +30.19% vs the ASX200 Accumulation Index's +6.48%. Since inception in October 2015, the Fund has risen +14.86% p.a. vs the Index's +9.64%. The Fund's capacity to outperform in falling and volatile markets is demonstrated by its Sortino ratio (since inception) of 1.27 vs the Index's 0.74 and down-capture ratio (since inception) of 45.74%. The Fund's down-capture ratio indicates that, on average, it has fallen less than half as much as the market during the market's negative months.

Key positive contributors for the month were Pinnacle (PNI +24.3%), News Corp (NWS +18.3%) and Austbrokers (AUB +17.4%). Key detractors were NRW (NWH -29.7%), Redbubble (RBL -23.7%) and National Tyre & Wheel (NTD -17.7%).

Prime Value noted reporting season was surprisingly positive given the volatile economic conditions experience through 2020. The Fund had several positive results, some of which included Pinnacle, News Corp and Austbrokers. Prime Value have made some modest changes to the portfolio and continue to be optimistic about the opportunities in the current market.
