Fund Overview

The Ellerston Australian Micro Cap Fund is made up of a portfolio of between 30 – 60 smaller and micro cap companies. The Fund adopts a unique investment process that aims to produce consistent returns over time.

  • Greater opportunities for alpha: Micro Cap companies are under researched compared to larger companies which increases the reward for effort and the opportunity for alpha.
  • Access to growth at reasonable prices: Micro Cap companies that are growing provide the potential for returns as long as you don’t overpay for that growth.

The Fund employs an active, research-driven investment approach which seeks to identify a portfolio of smaller and micro cap companies 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 downside risk. Investments will generally be made in companies that have sound business franchises with attractive earnings profiles that operate in growth industries and trade at a discount to valuation.
