Australia’s premier fundamental analysis research and investment house and long-time Connecting Images client, Lincoln, launched a concentrated Australian share managed fund to retail investors this month
Ideally suited to investors who don’t have the time or inclination to invest directly themselves or those looking to add diversification to their direct share portfolio, the Lincoln Retail Australian Share Fund portfolio selection is based on the commercially and academically proven fundamental sharemarket analysis methodology developed by retired Melbourne University academic and former Olympian Dr Merv Lincoln.
Tim Lincoln, managing director, who succeeded his father in 1996, says Lincoln’s unique approach identifies the best investment opportunities across the ASX while weeding out potential disasters.
“The chosen stocks are identified as having unrivalled growth potential and superior financial health,” Tim says. “With a minimum investment of $20,000, astute investors can have exposure to 30 to 50 of Australia’s most financially healthy companies.”
The wholesale version of the Lincoln Australian Share Fund (LASF) delivered a gross return of nearly 37.6 per cent for the 12 months to 31 May 2007, boding extremely well for investors in the retail fund. The new fund’s investment portfolio will be based on the same selection criteria.
Media Management for Connecting Images has managed Lincoln’s public relations campaign since 2003, building strong media relationships for Lincoln’s first retail product, premium share investing Stock Doctor® investment software, and establishing the Lincoln team as a valuable resource for reliable information and insightful comment. As a result, Lincoln enjoys a big reputation, much media respect and sustained media coverage.
Regular contributions to all the major print media – including The Bulletin, Smart Investor, Money and the various national daily paper financial inserts – and recent appearances on Lateline Business for his expert opinion, are all in a days work for Tim Lincoln.
The Connecting Images team is excited by the opportunity to now spread the good news about the Lincoln Fund to time poor investors looking for exposure to Australia’s financially healthiest companies.
