In our February 2020 letter to investors we discuss how the coronavirus has seen a correction in sharemarkets as well as takeaways from the February reporting season in Australia.

In our January 2020 Letter to Investors we discuss how the coronavirus is affecting markets and how the Australian sharemarket bucked the trend to rise over the month.

In our December 2019 letter to investors we discuss why markets have performed so well over 2019 and whether those tailwinds will continue.

In our November 2019 Letter to Investors we review how many major sharemarkets are on track to post their highest calendar year returns since the GFC despite global economic growth slowing to post GCF lows. We also announce a change we are making to how we present the performance of our funds.

In our October 2019 Letter to Investors we highlight how better news on a trade deal between the US and China, as well as further monetary easing globally helped lift most sharemarkets, though the local bourse was conspicuously left behind. We also provide a business update on our activities to close the discount to Net Tangible Assets for the Ophir High Conviction Fund.

In our September 2019 Letter to Investors we review the significant style rotation that featured in equity markets both in Australia and overseas during the month. We then discuss our view on the causes and how we think about them in the context of the Ophir Funds.

In our August 2019 Letter to Investors we review the recent Australian company reporting season. A backdrop of growing political tensions and concerns of a slowing global economy meant that the main focus of investors was on companies delivering a positive outlook statement.

We remain cautious of businesses exposed to the Australian economy and continue to focus on those businesses that can grow irrespective of economic conditions.

Ensuring that our portfolios have exposure to the right balance of defensive and growth companies is something we are currently focusing on heavily.
