Fund OverviewThe Prime Value Emerging Opportunities Fund invests in companies in the diversified emerging companies sector. The Fund seeks to achieve superior total returns over the medium to long term without the constraints of a benchmark.

The Fund is comprised of a concentrated portfolio of securities outside the ASX100. The fund may invest up to 10% in global equities but for this portion typically only invests in New Zealand. Investments are primarily made in ASX listed and other exchange listed Australian securities, however, it may also invest up to 10% in unlisted Australian securities.
