ASX200 Prime Momentum (MTM)

Monthly Report December 2011

Managers Comments for December 2011


Porter Capital’s Prime Momentum fund (MTM) returned -2.76% for December. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 Accumulation Index lost -1.35% for December. Total return for MTM since inception (August 2010) is +1.75% versus the benchmark return of -2.71% for the same period.

Markets got off to a solid start in the New Year. Due to the ASX200 displaying positive momentum we moved back into equities in early January with exposure to the materials, energy, financial, infrastructure, consumer staple and health care sectors.

Technically, the ASX200 broke its down trend from the highs of April last year, though resistance at 4350 will need to be overcome before a sustained market rally eventuates. Upbeat news out of the U.S. has seen market participants take a more “risk on” approach which has fuelled the current rally, but concerns around the European situation still linger.
