Manager Details and Fund Description

Manager: Premium China Funds Management Total FUM for all funds: AU$338m
Manager Overview:
Premium China Funds Management is a boutique funds management group established in 2005 to bring Asia investment opportunities into the Australian market, in order to bridge the gap between investors' needs to internationally diversify and the suite of investment solutions available.

The business team is comprised of six key individuals - Simon Wu (Executive Chairman & Chief Investment Strategist), Dean Groundwater (Director), Jonathan Wu (Executive Director & Head of Distribution and Operations), Derek Paas (Asia Investment Specialist), Clayton Coplestone (Investment Specialist - New Zealand) and Kevin Hu (Manager - Operations and Research).
Fund/Strategy Overview:
The Fund aims to provide capital growth over a three to five year period, prior to exchange rates effects, by primarily investing in the securities of Asian property or property-related companies across a range of market capitalisations with exposure to any, some, or all of the following: Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Republic of Korea, Thailand and Indonesia.

The Fund is managed by Value Partners using a disciplined value-oriented approach supported by intensive, on-the-ground bottom-up fundamental research resulting in a portfolio of individual holdings, which are, in the view of Value Partners, undervalued and of high quality, on either an absolute or relative basis, and which have the potential for capital appreciation.

In addition to direct investment in the securities of Asian property or property-related companies, the Fund may also invest in listed equities (including depositary receipts), listed China A shares, listed unit trusts, shares in mutual fund corporations and other collective investment schemes (including real estate investment trusts), derivatives including both exchange-traded and OTC, convertible securities, participatory notes, bonds, cash and cash equivalents, and foreign exchange contracts.
