Colonial FirstChoice - OC Premium Small Companies - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
To outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation index by 3-5% over rolling five-year periods before fees and taxes.
Fund Strategy
OC take a stock-specific, bottom-up approach to investment and do not have a particular style bias investing in stocks based on value, growth, yield or combination thereof. OC focuses on smaller businesses (ex ASX100) believing they are easier to understand, simpler to value and accessible to research. OC also believe small companies are often better placed than large companies to capitalise on significant growth in niche sectors, with strong management teams and well-resourced specialist staff.
