UBS Microcap Fund - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to outperform (after management costs) the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index over rolling five year periods.
Fund Strategy
The Portfolio Manager's overarching strategy is to identify those Microcap shares that are believed to be undervalued by the market, based on an assessment of the companies' future cash flows. Normally the Fund will hold between 35 - 65 stocks in companies with a market capitalisation of generally less than $250m at the time of initial purchase. The Portfolio Manager searches for businesses that have exposure to growing markets or are benefiting from changes in the market structure and are in a rapid growth phase of their life cycle.
