 Important Announcement
Distribution Information
18 January 2009
Good
morning,
With
a new decade upon us, it seems fitting that I convey my appreciation and
thanks to those of you who supported Ventura through this history making
financial event. In the year that’s past, I am pleased to say that the
Ventura Funds have withstood the force of the GFC. Those of you that
invested with Ventura have finished the year in a better position than
many.
While
markets during 2009 broke many records (both on the down and the up) we
finished the year in a much more respectable position. It reminded
us, though, of the importance of adequate diversification.
The strong performance continues…
We
are very pleased to advise that the Ventura Investment Program has
continued its outperformance for the 3 mths to 31 December 2009. With
the exception of the Australian Share Fund (that underperformed marginally
over 3 mths) and the Australian Opportunities Fund (that underperformed
marginally over most periods), all Funds have beaten their benchmarks over
the 3mth, 6mth and 1yr periods – it is no coincidence this is roughly in
line with the introduction of the Strategic Tilting.
