The Montgomery Fund aims to provide long-term capital growth investing in 25 to 35 securities listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Fund seeks to outperform the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index over the medium to long term.
The Fund seeks to outperform by building a concentrated portfolio of high-quality companies with a margin of safety and a potential catalysts to close the price-to-value gap. The fundamental, bottom-up research process for identifying these companies has been consistently applied by the manager since its founding in 2004.
Harnessing the security of Australia’s top 100 companies, The Fund may also invest up to 25 per cent outside the top 100. The Fund uses an index ‘agnostic’ approach to building its portfolio, aimed at ensuring the best investment ideas have the greatest exposure.
