The Montgomery [Private] Fund invests principally in listed companies in Australian and New Zealand. Montgomery is regarded as a ‘focused’ or ‘high conviction’ investment manager and aims for capital preservation first. While difficult to achieve, Montgomery seeks positive long-term returns irrespective of the direction of the market. The Montgomery [Private] Fund long-term objective is to provide absolute returns to investors in the form of capital growth and income.
While Montgomery aims to invest in companies that meet its criteria for superior financial position and performance, companies deemed attractive may not necessarily appear cheap on conventional measures. Up to 100% of the Fund’s assets can also be held in cash when suitable investments cannot be found or in order to manage risk.
