Schroder Microcap - Managed Fund (Closed)

Fund Objective
The objective of the Fund is to outperform the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Total Return Accumulation Index over the long term by investing predominantly in listed companies with a market capitalisation in excess of AUD10 million but which are outside the top 250 ASX listed companies by market capitalisation and companies listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange with an equivalent market capitalisation ("Microcap stocks").
Fund Strategy
The core of Schroders' investment philosophy is that corporate value creation, or the ability to generate returns on capital higher than the cost of capital, leads to sustainable share price outperformance in the long term. The ability to generate superior returns is a function of industry dynamics and company competitive advantage.
