The Montgomery Small Companies Fund has had a cracking few months
Gary Rollo
September 7, 2023
In this week’s video insight I joined David Buckland to dive into the recent performance of the Montgomery Small Companies Fund. As the reporting season concludes, the Fund has delivered 11.19 per cent for the three months to 31 August. This is an outperformance of 8.97 per cent compared to its benchmark the S&P/ ASX Small Ordinaries Accumulation Index. The outperformance can be attributed to several key stocks in the Fund’s portfolio, particularly Megaport (ASX:MP1), Audinate (ASX:AD8), and Aussie Broadband (ASX:ABB), all of which have exhibited strong growth and management excellence. continue…

China wakes up, but is the nightmare just beginning?
Roger Montgomery
August 28, 2023
I have long ignored the reported vicissitudes of China’s economy, unable to reconcile the fact their gross domestic product (GDP) data – obtained from an impossibly large and disparate country – is released more quickly at the end of each month than the U.S. and the data is rarely, if ever, subsequently amended or adjusted. They get it right the first time, every time. A quick look at the piles of junked Chinese products at the local waste disposal centre quickly disabuses one of any belief in China’s systems producing data that is right the first time every time. continue…

Roger Montgomery

Breville Group (ASX:BRG) is a company owned in the Montgomery Small Companies Fund and one we have written about extensively. Back on April 14, I wrote about Breville, its 40 per cent share price decline from August 2021 highs and the fact that it was trading on a price earnings (P/E) ratio typically reserved for retailers with store lease obligations and few runways for growth. continue…
