Montgomery awarded Emerging Fund Manager of the Year
I am personally delighted to announce that Montgomery Investment Management has been awarded the prestigious Emerging Fund Manager of the Year title at the 2016 Money Management and Lonsec Fund Manager of the Year Awards.
The winners of the 29th Fund Manager of the Year Awards were announced last night at a gala dinner at Sydney’s Four Seasons, attended by more than 350 of the industry’s leading participants.
The team responsible for the award includes Scott Shuttleworth, Ben MacNevin, Stuart Jackson and Russell Muldoon and is lead by Portfolio Manager and Head of Research Tim Kelley.
As Chief Investment Officer and founder, I am delighted Montgomery has been recognised for delivering that which is important to investors – protection and growth. On behalf of the dedicated and committed individuals who contribute so much of their personal time to the firm I am grateful that this award will recognise their efforts.
The Montgomery Fund, has returned 74.24 per cent to investors since inception, outperforming the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index by 32.59 per cent over the same period. Importantly it has achieved this result with approximately 20 per cent of the portfolio held in the safety of cash.
The Fund is available to retail investors directly through the Montgomery website or through a variety of platforms. The minimum direct investment is A$25,000.
The results of the awards are based on Lonsec’s research methodology, which assesses their conviction of the manager’s investment philosophy and process; stability of the investment team; risk management; and finally weighting was given to funds that had delivered excess returns in calendar year 2015.
Thank you to everyone at Montgomery who have collectively delivered on their individual promise to put our clients first.

Dear Roger,
Well done. As a Finance Director working abroad it is good to know that the Montomgomery team is managing my investments so well. I invest in two of your funds and am delighted that you have received this award. Being based in London, with the added responsibility of managing pension funds, I have had many fund managers to choose from but chose your team for their focus as quality value investors.
Kind regards,
Gerard Loty
Dear Gerard,
Thanks for taking the time to write, and all the way from London! It’s encouraging to know that we are gaining a little traction internationally and with institutional investors. I look forward to meeting with you later in the year.
Well Done Roger, Russ, and Tim.
Well deserved recognition Roger, congratulations to the entire team.
Thank you Paul.
One question among all the congratulations. Is this award for managing the best emerging fund or for being the best emerging manager? I’d go along with the former, but not for the latter. The jury is still out on the Global and Montaka Global funds.
It goes to the manager for the fund. Probably hard to argue that with over 100 years of collective experience, we are emerging individuals/managers!
Congratulations to the team. Looking forward to the years ahead.
Thank toy Robert. We’re very grateful for the industry recognition. With trading dominated by short term investors, its terrific to be able to see there is a place for long term, business ownership style value investing.
Heartiest congratulations. Well deserved.
Congratulations to the team, Recognition for the great job you are doing!
Congratulations Roger and your team. Never in doubt
