Cromwell Phoenix Opportunities Fund - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The objective of the Fund, over rolling 5 year periods is to: Deliver a total return in excess of inflation1 (as measured by the Consumer Price Index) plus 7.5%, and Outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index ('Benchmark') after fees and costs.
Fund Strategy
The Fund holds a concentrated portfolio of ASX listed small capitalisation securities ('microcaps') that are selected using a value orientated 'best ideas' investment philosophy. Investments are likely to be in small companies with the majority selected from outside the top 300 listed securities by market capitalisation. Microcaps are considered to be the most inefficiently priced sector of the Australian securities market and offer the greatest potential to add value through an active management approach.
