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 +6.95% in April, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +3.48% and taking 12-month performance to +54.92% vs the Index's +30.76%. Since inception in October 2005, the Fund has returned +16.07% vs the Index's +10.49%.

The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios (since inception), 1.00 and 1.40 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.69 and Sortino of 0.83, highlight its capacity to produce superior risk adjusted returns while avoiding the market's downside volatility.

The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios for performance over the past 12 months, 153% and -4.6% respectively, highlight its significant outperformance over that period in both the market's positive and negative months.

Key positive contributors for the month were Mainstream (MAI +119.9%), Uniti Wireless (UWL +20.4%) and City Chic (CCX +17.6%). Key detractors were Redbubble (RBL -18.2%), Southern Cross Media (SXL - 9.9%) and Helloworld (HLO -13.0%).
