Performance to 31 December 2012
The Montgomery Fund was launched on 17 August 2012. In the period to 31 December 2012 The Fund delivered a return of 16.88%, after expenses.
Over the same period the S&P/ ASX 300 Accumulation Index appreciated by 8.68%.
The Montgomery [Private] Fund was launched on 23 December 2010. In the period to 31 December 2012 The Fund delivered an absolute return of 22.1%, after expenses.
This assumes reinvestment of the 30 June 2012 distribution of 2.8771 cents per unit.
Over the same period the S&P/ ASX 200 Industrials Accumulation Index appreciated by 1.75%.
While these are pleasing results, performances over short time frames have limited meaning, and our focus remains firmly on long term goals.
The December 2012 Investment Reports will be sent to Investors in The Montgomery Fund and The Montgomery [Private] Fund later this week, after sign-off.

I was talking to a chap just last week about it. He said he’d been given some good advice by a friend – “Resist the temptation to annualise”.
All the same, it’s a cracking start.
