Fund Overview

The Ellerston Australian Share Fund is a high conviction fund that looks beyond just investing in the Top 20 stocks in order to capture the neglected opportunities created by under-researched stocks in the broader Australian market.

  • Greater opportunities for alpha generation by broadening our focus beyond the large companies that typically dominate analyst and investor attention.
  • Potential for long-term capital growth and income distributions.
  • An active, bottom-up approach to stock selection.
  • Run by Ellerston Capital’s experienced investment specialists with a disciplined investment approach.

The capital invested in each stock is solely dependent on our assessment of its ability to generate superior risk adjusted returns in the future, not on its benchmark weighting.
