The Pengana Global Small Companies Solution uses a multi manager approach, investing with regional small company investment specialists to produce a global portfolio. Small companies have the potential to provide attractive returns to investors, and should perform well relative to the broader market over the long term due to their greater risk premium. Pengana has selected underlying managers that demonstrate a superior understanding of their respective markets and an ability to capitalise on this relatively inefficient asset class. The Fund currently invests in three regions: North America, Europe and Asia, with the Benchmark equally weighted between the three regions. The Fund is passively rebalanced back to the Benchmark, and exposure to international investments hedged back into Australian dollars, with the intention of covering the Fund’s exposure to currency risk.

Global small companies have the potential to provide attractive returns to investors. Small companies should perform well relative to the broader market over the long term due to their greater risk premium. Small cap investment managers have also demonstrated a significant ability to outperform their benchmarks within this relatively inefficient asset class.
The Fund uses a multi manager approach, investing with regional small company investment specialists to produce a global portfolio. To maximise the returns generated the Fund uses active investment managers with portfolios that are not overly diversified.
Pengana believes that this regional multi manager approach is superior to that adopted by most global small company managers for the following reasons:
Pengana has selected underlying managers that demonstrate a superior understanding of their respective markets and an ability to capitalise on this advantage. Pengana’s rigorous research and monitoring process incorporates:
The Fund currently invests in three regions: North America, Europe and Asia. The Benchmark is equally weighted between the three regions and the Fund is passively rebalanced back to the Benchmark.
Each underlying manager is allocated a portion of the Fund’s assets to manage and is subject to limits imposed on the instruments and securities they may trade.
The Fund’s exposure to international investments has been hedged back into Australian dollars, with the intention of covering the Fund’s exposure to currency risk.

In order to comply with regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering and counter terrorism financing, which came into effect on 31 January 2008, we have prepared the "Know Your Customer Information" forms set out below. You will find separate forms for different types of investors, such as Individual/Sole Trader, Company, Trust (Including SMSF) and Other Organisation.
We must receive the relevant completed form and any additional verification information identified in the form before we can accept any applications from new investors into the Pengana funds.
If we have not received the completed relevant "Know Your Customer Information" form and any additional verification information required within two weeks of receiving the original application (or longer if the compliance officer agrees) then we will have to refuse the application and return the application monies without any interest payment.
Any new direct investors, or existing investors who wish to invest directly into any Pengana fund under a different investor name or entity, are required to provide the relevant "Know Your Customer Information" form.
Please note that we do not require a completed form from any existing investor in the Pengana funds, provided the investment is made in the same name. This includes existing investors who are topping up their investment in a Pengana fund or investing into another Pengana fund.
Due to the complex nature of the application of the new regulations to the fund manager / platform provider as well as fund manager / margin lender relationship, please refer to your platform provider or margin lender in the first instance as to whether you may be required to supply a Pengana "Know Your Customer Information" form with your application.
