Here at Montgomery, we’ve always believed that partnerships are the backbone of wealth creation. It’s why, together with our key executives David Buckland, Chief Executive Officer and Scott Phillips, Head of Distribution, I have made it my job to identify and partner with those we believe can deliver exceptional outcomes for you.
Today, I’m delighted to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the partnership that forms the backbone of the Montgomery Small Companies Fund.
In 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, Montgomery launched the Montgomery Small Companies Fund (The Fund) with Gary Rollo and Dominic Rose. It was to become one of the most volatile periods in market history. Yet, despite this uncertainty, The Fund navigated the challenges with aplomb.
Since its inception in October 2019, to 30 September 2024, the Montgomery Small Companies Fund has generated a compound annual return of 9.33 per cent per annum, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index, by 4.97 per cent per annum (net of fees and assuming reinvestment of distributions).
As you would be well aware, I advocate investing in small companies because their innovation provides the potential for disruptive and rapid growth. And because so many fewer analysts cover smaller companies, their pricing can also be favourable.
Of course, success in investing is only achieved with others. Our partners, including the investors who have trusted us with their capital, play an integral role in this journey.
As we celebrate another milestone, I want to thank Gary and Dom for their commitment to delivering outstanding results for our investors, and I would also like to thank the incredible team of individuals at Montgomery who identify and establish our partnerships, ensure our client relationships flourish and safeguard our operations and business for you.
And to you, our investors, thank you for your continued support and belief in a partnership with Montgomery.
Through all our partnerships and funds, we remain committed to your success and look forward to the future in partnership with you.
We remain delighted to be working for you.
Roger
