| Fund Overview | The overriding objective of the Concentrated Australian Equities Fund is to seek investment opportunities which are under-appreciated and have the potential to deliver positive earnings, while satisfying our stringent quality criteria. Bennelong's investment process combines bottom-up fundamental analysis together with proprietary investment tools which are used to build and maintain high quality portfolios that are risk aware. The portfolio typically consists of 20-35 high-conviction stocks from the S&P/ASX 300 Index. The Fund may invest in securities listed on other exchanges where such securities relate to ASX-listed securities. Derivative instruments are mainly used to replicate underlying positions and hedge market and company specific risks. |
| Manager Comments | The Fund's superior capacity to avoid the market's downside volatility over the long-term is supported by its Sortino ratio (since inception) of 1.37 vs the Index's 0.74%. As at the end of February, the portfolio's weightings had been increased in the Discretionary, Health Care, Industrials, Consumer Staples and Materials sectors, and decreased in the IT, Communication, REIT's and Financials sectors. Relative to the ASX300 Index, the portfolio was significantly overweight the Discretionary sector (Fund weight: 42.4%, benchmark weight: 8.0%) and underweight the Financials sector (Fund weight: 6.9%, benchmark weight: 27.6%). |
