Montgomery Small Companies - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over a rolling 5 year period.
Fund Strategy
Montgomery Lucent's investment philosophy is guided by fundamental research and analysis. Small market capitalisation companies are relatively under-researched and when markets misprice securities, this creates investment opportunities. Montgomery Lucent is seeking to build a portfolio of 30 to 50 high quality, undervalued small and emerging companies with strong growth potential. We are searching for companies likely to benefit from secular trends, industry change and with substantial competitive advantages.
