Fund Overview	Argonaut Natural Resources Fund ('ANRF') is an actively managed wholesale fund investing in listed resource and mining service companies. ANRF seeks to create a diversified portfolio of investments which will generate absolute returns in excess of the S&P ASX 300 Resources Index. The Fund typically holds between 10 and 25 separate equity investments.

Fund Overview	The strategy aims to generate absolute long-term returns by investing in companies listed on exchanges worldwide, which operate in, or are economically exposed to, emerging markets that are transitioning from a low income, less developed economy towards a modern, industrial economy with a higher standard of living and greater connectivity to global markets. The strategy is index unaware and is based on a focus on the quality of the businesses in which the Fund invests. The Skerryvore investment team select individual stocks based on their merit and without reference to the composition of the Benchmark.
