Ellerston Australian Emerging Leaders A - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The investment objective of the fund over time is to outperform the benchmark over a rolling three year period. The fund aims to achieve this by investing in between 30 and 60 Australian listed Securities. Where there is a lack of suitable investment opportunities or as a means of preserving capital, the fund may hold up to 20% of its Net Asset Value in Cash.
Fund Strategy
The fund employs an active, research-driven investment approach which seeks to identify a portfolio of smaller company Securities with the aim of delivering superior returns to the Benchmark over time. The fund will invest in companies that are believed to have the potential to deliver significant upside over the medium term and where there is a reasonable margin of safety to mitigate the downside risk. We will actively manage the positions of the fund.
