Australian Large Companies Fund

With seven years of ASX100 specialisation, Elston is proud to offer The Australian Large Companies Fund, a fund with focus. We focus on the detail that can deliver opportunities. We focus on a balance of value and growth in the portfolio. And we focus exclusively on the big end of town, never drifting down into the ASX200 or ASX300. We are true to label.

"Active investment with a strict focus on just the top 100 companies has been proven to work, time and again."

Andrew McKie, CIO

* With reference to cumulative return of the Elston Australian Large Companies Portfolio of 138.90% (13.25% p.a.) versus the S&P/ASX 100 Accumulation Index of 108.70% (11.08% p.a.) over the last 7 years as at 30 November 2019. The cumulative investment performance is AFTER investment management fees, but before administration fees and taxes. The returns have been calculated on a daily basis taking into account transactions costs. Benchmark market return is the cumulative performance of the ASX100 Accumulation index. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance returns.Source: Elston & HUB24.

The Elston Asset Management investment team consists of nine investment professionals who have worked together as a team for more than seven years. They are led by the four AEQ portfolio managers who are also shareholders in the business: Andrew McKie, Bruce Williams, Justin Woerner and Leon de Wet.

Elston recently won the Australian Equities category at the IMAP Awards against some of the leading AEQ investment managers in the country. This kind of recognition is no small part due to Elston’s robust and disciplined investment process, and the skill and discipline of the Elston investment team.
