Pengana Australian Equities Class A - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The fund's investment objective is to achieve over the medium to long term an investment return, including capital appreciation, dividends and interest, in excess of the risk free rate (i.e., the Reserve Bank of Australia's Cash Rate Target) plus a margin to compensate investors for the extra risk associated with investing in Australian equities with a volatility of return less than the Australian equity market.
Fund Strategy
The Fund's Investment Team attends many company management meetings each year as an integral part of the idea generation, company valuation and portfolio management processes. Access to external research is considered a valuable resource in supplementing idea generation, understanding industries and facilitating access to company management. Pengana maintains a database of valuation models on potential and existing investment opportunities.
