The Fund will invest primarily in equity and/or debt securities of companies and collective investment vehicles listed on an Australian stock exchange or another international stock exchange, or other such assets that can be actively traded in a market that permits independent third-party confirmation of pricing. However, up to 20% of the gross asset value of the Fund may be invested in assets that have limited liquidity.
The Fund aims to hold no more than 25% of the value of the Fund in any one company or group of companies at the time an investment is made. Where the market value of an investment exceeds 25% of the gross asset value of the Fund, the Fund may (but is not required to) sell part of the investment to reduce the weighting back to 25%.
The Fund may also hold cash and short term fixed interest securities.
The Fund’s investment objective is to maximise the total return (income plus growth) for investors by holding a relatively concentrated portfolio of investments. The investment objective is not a forecast. Returns are not guaranteed.
The Fund’s investment strategy is to acquire a portfolio of investments to hold for the long term (typically for a minimum of 5 years) which it believes have the ability to compound their returns over time.
Very often these investments will be in under researched and lesser known companies, and those companies where investors have over reacted with a herd like mentality to bad news on what are otherwise good investments.

Our Approach to investing
The foundation of our investment approach is to preserve and grow wealth over the longer term. We do not attempt to be all things to all people, and seek only to make investments that we understand and that offer quality and value.
We aim to buy good investments at prices we believe to be at a significant discount to their intrinsic value, and to hold them for the long term. In practice this often means that we are actively buying investments that others are selling, and selling investments that others are buying.
We invest in businesses we have selected, not "markets", and we believe that certain industries and sectors should simply be avoided.
Our investment decisions are made without regard to index composition, country weighting or market momentum. This means that our investment portfolios will look different to any index or to other investment managers’ portfolios.
