The Montgomery Fund celebrates its first birthday

The Montgomery Fund’s relative out-performance against its benchmark, the S&P/ASX 300 Accumulation Index, was 12.7 per cent.

While it is early days for The Fund, Roger Montgomery and I would like to acknowledge the important contribution of Tim Kelley, Montgomery Investment Management’s Head of Research and Portfolio Manager of The Montgomery Fund.

Aside from being Dux of the MBA program at the AGSM, he has worked in highly relevant analytical and mergers acquisition roles at McKinsey and Gresham Partners. Mr Kelley brings a background in Engineering and Business to the team. He has been instrumental in the evolution of the Montgomery Portfolio Management and research process…”.

    An excellent effort, Roger. Congratulations to you and your team. I am lagging a bit behind having only managed 29.98% return over the last year and I haven’t charged myself a fee. I do, however, suffer from getting a poor return on any AUD cash balances held in NZ – currently 0.6% (not a typo the rate is 6/10 of 1%)

    I thoroughly enjoy the process of invesing my own funds but may consider directing a percentage of my investments to your fund if you continue your outstanding performance.

    There is very dodgey investment advice out there, and I have been burnt by their “expertise” and became very cynical. So I tried myself ..bad move. Since I found TMF both myself and my superfund have been smiling.Congratulations guys. I’ll be with you for years to come.
