Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund

About the Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund

The Bennelong Emerging Companies Fund was launched on 1 November 2017, and invests predominantly in micro and small-cap stocks listed on the ASX. It is managed employing the same investment approach that is behind the success of Bennelong Australian Equity Partners’ (BAEP) other long-established Australian equity funds – that is, a research-intensive and predominantly bottom-up investment approach.

Compared to larger companies, micro and small-cap stocks can offer more exciting growth prospects but can also come with greater investment risk. The Fund is disciplined in focusing on high quality stocks. It seeks to avoid the higher risk, but potentially higher returning, propositions such as minerals explorers, speculative stocks, fads, and unproven business models.

The Fund:

  • offers investors exposure to micro and small-cap companies, which are often less well known and researched than larger caps;
  • utilises BAEP’s existing knowledge of micro and small-cap stocks, gained as part of its wide covering sector-wide research and analysis;
  • leverages BAEP’s historical success investing in emerging companies, including in pre-IPO companies; and
  • aims to leverage the size and reputation of BAEP within a micro and small-cap offering, including by taking advantage of IPOs, placements and other similar opportunities.

 

Now available on mFund under code BAE05
