Fund Overview	The L1 Capital Long Short Fund aims to deliver positive, risk adjusted returns over a period of 3+ years by investing in listed Australian and international shares as well as unlisted securities that are expected to list within the next 12 months. Derivatives, shorting and leverage may be used in order to achieve the Fund's investment goals. L1 Capital uses a combination of discretionary and quantitative methods to identify securities with the potential to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns. The discretionary element of the investment process entails regular meetings with company management and other stakeholders as well as frequent reading and analysis of annual reports and other relevant publications and communications. The quantitative element of the investment process makes use of bottom-up research to maintain financial models such as the Discounted Cashflow model (DCF) which is used as a means of assessing the intrinsic value of a given security. Stocks with the best combination of qualitative factors and valuation upside are used as the basis for portfolio construction. The process is iterative and as business trends, industry structure, management quality or valuation changes, stock weights are adjusted accordingly.

Fund Overview	The Equitable Investors Dragonfly Fund aims to deliver a total return greater than the annual five year government bond rate + 5% pa over the medium-to-long term. The Fund is an open ended, unlisted unit trust investing predominantly in ASX listed companies. Hybrid, debt & unlisted investments are also considered. The Fund is focused on investing in growing or strategic businesses and generating returns that, to the extent possible, are less dependent on the direction of the broader sharemarket. The Fund may at times change its cash weighting or utilise exchange traded products to manage market risk. Investments will primarily be made in micro-to-mid cap companies listed on the ASX. Larger listed businesses will also be considered for investment but are not expected to meet the manager's investment criteria as regularly as smaller peers.
Manager Comments	The Equitable Investors Dragonfly Fund has risen +24.83% over the past 12 months, outperforming the ASX200 Total Return Index by +7.6%. In December the fund returned -3.18%. NZ-listed tradie app developer Geo Limited (GEO:NZ) was sold down on light volume in during the month, causing >70% of the decline in NAV for the month before bouncing straight back in the first few weeks of January 2022. GEO has been a key contributor to performance of the Fund over CY2021. The investments that contributed the most to the 25% advance in NAV were a pair of businesses not listed on the ASX (NZ-listed GEO and unlisted digital diagnostics company Ellume) and a pair of takeover situations (IT consulting business Empired and traffic monitoring business Redflex). Equitable Investors noted they are excited about the year ahead for their core, high conviction investments. They continue to focus on the value catalysts and growth opportunities for the fund's individual investments.

Fund Overview	The Investment Manager will be primarily focussed on investing in companies listed in the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Index while retaining capacity to invest up to 30% of the Fund in ASX listed companies outside this benchmark. The Investment Manager believes this approach offers attractive, under researched investment opportunities that can provide capital upside and growing dividend income over rolling 5-year periods. The Investment Manager follows a defined investment process which is underpinned by detailed bottom up fundamental analysis, overlayed with sectoral and macroeconomic research. This is combined with an extensive company visitation program where we endeavour to meet with company management and with other stakeholders such as suppliers, customers and industry bodies to improve our information set. Surrey Asset Management defines its investment process as Qualitative, Quantitative and Value Latencies (QQV). In essence, the Investment Manager thoroughly researches an investment's qualitative and quantitative characteristics in an attempt to find value latencies not yet reflected in the share price and then clearly defines a roadmap to realisation of those latencies. Developing this roadmap is a key step in the investment process. By articulating a clear pathway as to how and when an investment can realise what the Investment Manager sees as latent value, defines the investment proposition and lessens the impact of cognitive dissonance. This is undertaken with a philosophical underpinning of fact-based investing, transparency, authenticity and accountability.
