Fund Index

Collective investment schemes in securities are generally medium to long-term investments.The value of participatory interests may go down as well as up and investors may get back lesscash than originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future. Aninvestment in the participations of a collective investment scheme in securities is not the sameas a deposit with a banking institution. Fluctuations or movements in exchange rates may causethe value of underlying international investments to go up or down. Participatory interest pricesare calculated on a net asset value basis, which is the total value of all assets less liabilities in theportfolio including any provisions made for any purchase, fiscal or other charges that would havebeen incurred had all the assets of the relevant class fund been bought or sold at that time,divided by the number of participatory interests in issue. Please refer to the prospectus for moredetails on the charges and expenses that may be recovered from the portfolios. Participatoryinterests are priced daily using the forward pricing method. The portfolios may borrow up to10% of the market value of the portfolio to bridge insufficient liquidity as a result of theredemption of participatory interests, and may also engage in scrip lending.

The Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth through investment primarily in a diversified portfolio ofAustralian equities.

The manager’s bottom-up stock picking approach drives the portfolio construction process. He favours large andmedium sized companies as they tend to have better track records, management and creditworthiness. However,he will consider smaller companies that meet his investment criteria. The top ten holdings comprise approximately50% of the portfolio with the total number of stocks being approximately 40.

The fund manager’s approach is driven by fundamental research focusing on both value and growth. He invests instocks whose earnings potential is undiscovered by the broad investment community, and favours companies withsuperior management, a competitive edge, strong brand name or technological advantage, sound balance sheet,strong free cashflow and low gearing. He will take substantial active positions in companies where he has strongconviction. He uses regular company visits in his stock selection process in order to assess a company’s corporategovernance, business quality, earnings quality, financing strategy and long-term growth outlook.

fund approach and style*

quarterly update (30/06/2009* )

target market

Targeted at the more experienced investor, due to the portfolio’s specialist nature.

The fund underperformed its benchmark over the quarter.

Individual positions within the materials sector dragged relative performance. For instance, exposure to gold producerLihir Gold detracted from returns, as its share price was hampered by the weakened demand for gold followingimproved global economic outlook. A lack of exposure to Orica, a supplier of explosive and blasting services to themining sector, was counterproductive after it announced healthy revenue growth.

Selected stocks in the energy firms Oil Search and Origin Energy also hurt returns. I, however, continue to hold thesenames in view of their potential for increasing production volumes. Conversely, the position in online employmentclassifieds company Seek was the top contributor. The stock was preferred given the firm’s growth in market share andits foray into the education business. Similarly, a position in Macquarie Airports contributed after the company sought tosell its loss-making stake in Japan’s terminal and lower its debt levels.
