The Fiducian Technology Fund
The Fiducian Technology Fund allows investors to participate directly in a blend of some of the technology funds available worldwide. Fund managers have been chosen to balance exposure in terms of region, sector and type of company. Managers can invest in technology companies anywhere in the world, provided only that these companies can benefit from leading-edge technology and can demonstrate significant earnings growth prospects.
The Fiducian Technology Fund focuses on exposure to the highest growth sectors in the advanced economies, which will drive economic success in the future for society as a whole. These sectors include new and rapidly developing fields of high technology, such as biotechnology, robotics, artificial intelligence, information technology and even the ground-breaking field of nano-technology. In other words, this fund is heavily invested in the so-called new and innovative BRAIN technologies that could eventually offer large potential rewards to investors. The funds are well diversified with between 30 and 100 stocks held by each fund.

Investors must bear in mind that investing in a fund of this nature can involve periods of very high volatility, although superior long-run returns may be achieved if investors are prepared to hold investments for periods of at least 5-7 years.1

The Fiducian India Fund
The Fiducian India Fund provides investors with a unique opportunity to invest in a well-diversified range of companies listed on Indian stock exchanges. The Fund is managed by a selection of four (4) Indian fund managers based in India, and can satisfy Fiducian’s stringent criteria. These fund managers employ large teams of research analysts with substantial local knowledge of the many languages, regional differences in business processes, economic activity and regulatory environment.
While this fund could be expected to deliver relatively high returns over the longer term, it could also experience periods of capital loss. Performance could be significantly affected by rapid changes in investor sentiment, potential difficulties in buying or selling shares, unexpected regulatory changes by government, political developments and currency fluctuations (this fund is not hedged against changes in currency).
Who would the Fiducian India Fund suit?
In our view, this Fund appears suited to investors who are seeking access to a high-growth economy. While it holds promise for capital growth, caution is warranted when investing in this Fund. Taking advice from a financial adviser is recommended. Due to the potential for significant fluctuations at times, investment should be aimed at longer-term returns with money that is not required for cash flow at short notice.
Benefits of investing in the Fiducian India Fund
India is emerging as one of the most important players in the global economy. Indian GDP has grown on average 7% per annum for the last decade and it is expected to exceed this rate of growth over the next few years. India’s importance for Australia cannot be ignored either – Australia has a large trade surplus with India.
Now within reach of all Australians, the Fiducian India Fund offers investors:
• The opportunity to participate in equity returns supported by rapid economic growth taking place in India
• Access to a well-diversified range of Indian stocks selected by highly reputable Indian based investment teams
• A natural hedge for Australian investors with a heavy exposure to commodities
• The highly respected Fiducian Funds management process with a proven track record

The Fiducian Global Smaller Companies and Emerging Markets Fund
The Fiducian Global Smaller Companies & Emerging Markets Fund provides investors with the opportunity to combine investments in companies that are generally of small capitalisation in the more developed markets and with investments in companies that are listed on the stock exchanges of the less developed (emerging) markets.
Smaller companies in developed and better regulated markets have shown superior long-term growth when compared with their larger peers, as they are generally more flexible and operate in market niches that give them greater opportunity to increase profits. Emerging markets funds invest in developing countries and offer investors the opportunity to benefit from the significant growth potential inherent in many of these economies as they raise their standards of living.
It is expected that by diversifying between these two segments of the international share market, investors could be somewhat cushioned against the unexpected volatility and loss of capital that any one country’s market, industry sector or individual shares could generate. However, while this Fund could deliver high returns over the long term, it could also show periods of significant volatility caused by rapid changes in investor sentiment, difficulties in buying and selling shares, regulatory changes by Governments and currency, economic and political developments.
Who would the Fiducian Global Smaller Companies and Emerging Markets Fund suit?
This Fund may be suited for limited components of an investor’s portfolio that are not needed for cash flow at short notice and can be left to grow despite large fluctuations, for potential long-term gain.
