Portfolio
The portfolio continues to outperform the market despite challenging economic conditions. In April the FGX portfolio declined 0.56%, while the S&P/ASX All Ords Accumulation Index fell 1.5%. The allocation to the managers has been structured to provide a spread between three broad equity strategies: long equities, absolute bias, market neutral; and cash. The company is currently 50.9% long equities, 23.4% absolute bias, 15.9% market neutral and 9.8% cash. This month the asset allocation has been adjusted with the investment in the Tribeca Alpha Plus Fund, the Bennelong Long Short Fund and the Qato Capital Market Neutral Fund, funded by the redemption of money from the Bennelong Alpha 200 Fund and cash. This new allocation will increase exposure to the absolute bias strategy and reduce exposure to the market neutral strategies and cash.

Fund manager in focus: Eley Griffiths Group
About us
Eley Griffiths Group is a specialist ASX small company portfolio manager, which started operations in 2003, but whose origins extend to funds management at both BT and ING Investment Management. Our objective is to identify listed franchises whose management team and business model have been undervalued by the market. Our team of five employs a time tested investment process that has placed us amongst the leading small cap managers in the Australian market.
Our investment style
Our process involves a qualitative assessment of a company, chiefly a review of management, their experience, vision and alignment and an industry examination, where great weight is placed in the two to three year forecast growth outlook. We also assess individual stocks quantitatively. We have always used a Growth At a Reasonable Price (GARP) style of valuation analysis, weighing up a company's price to earnings ratio with its likely three year earnings per share growth. Our stock selection depends upon a positive combination of the two disciplines.
Our top five holdings
Fletcher Building – multinational building materials group with a predominant focus on the New Zealand market and its Canterbury rebuilding program. Boasts a mercurial management team that continues to make its presence felt within this one-time indolent business.
IRESS – leading software provider and developer for financial market operatives and financial planners both here and internationally.
Healthscope – recently listed private hospital operator who is growing its domestic footprint and pondering international opportunities. Seasoned management and highly prized portfolio of healthcare assets.
Invocare – significant Australasian funeral home operator, which enjoys a superior return on equity on its assets and has cautiously, commenced its push into international markets.
Dulux – leading paint/coatings supplier to the household and professional building markets. Well placed to participate in the residential housing construction cycle updraft.
Our market outlook
Eley Griffiths Group remains favourably disposed to the local share market at present. Valuations are full but not stretched, interest rate settings will continue to be accommodative and a continuing soft Australian dollar will promote our listed corporates to increased international portfolio managers and well funded offshore corporates.

Designated charity in focus: Diabetes Kids Fund
Future Generation Investment and Diabetes Kids Fund
Diabetes NSW supports people living with diabetes, every step of the way. In NSW alone, there are 400,000 people living with diabetes, the most prevalent being types 1 and 2. We provide the education, information, advocacy and emotional support that enables people living with diabetes, and their families and carers, to be better prepared for the challenges the disease presents. The support of Future Generation Investment Company shareholders for our Diabetes Kids Fund (DKF) is vital to our efforts at making diabetes ‘normal’ for those children who live with type 1 diabetes – a life-threatening condition – on a daily basis.
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not produce insulin and insulin is critical to life. For the parents, carers and family, there is much confusion, anger and overwhelming concern for the child’s health and well-being at the time of diagnosis. Support of DKF enables us to continue our very successful and popular kids’ picnics and camps. These are designed first and foremost to connect young children living with diabetes so they know they are not alone or different.
Grace was six years old when diagnosed with type 1 diabetes – she is now a young lady of 17 studying her Higher School Certificate, learning to drive a car and only two years ago took a school trip to Vietnam where she and classmates undertook community work. “I loved going to the Diabetes NSW camps – it was great to be with people just like me. I

have made really good friends from the camps.” DKF needs $500,000 a year to continue enabling kids like Grace feel better about living with type 1 diabetes. A full day picnic for 50 people can cost up to $10,000 while a five-day camp can cost $100,000. The needs are endless and we are confident DKF will enable us to achieve our goal of supporting children living with diabetes every step of the way. Thank you for your support.
