Cyan Investment Management

Overview

Cyan Investment Management is a Melbourne-based firm specializing in long-only investments in small-cap companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The firm manages a single fund, the Cyan C3G Fund, which aims to deliver meaningful positive returns by investing in a portfolio of 20 to 40 promising or proven ASX-listed companies. The fund is closed to new investors once it reaches a size of $100 million, reflecting its commitment to maintaining a focused and high-quality portfolio. The firm's investment strategy centers on identifying well-positioned, managed, and resourced smaller companies with significant growth potential. Cyan avoids sectors deemed risky, such as biotechnology and resources, and concentrates on companies with market capitalizations between $50 million and $200 million. The firm emphasizes long-term investments, conducting its own detailed research to inform decisions and maintaining a conservative approach to risk management. Cyan's founders, Graeme Carson and Dean Fergie, both hold significant personal investments in the Cyan C3G Fund, underscoring their confidence in the firm's investment philosophy. Carson brings over 20 years of experience in the Australian financial markets, focusing on high-quality companies that meet value investment criteria. Fergie has more than 25 years in the funds management industry, with expertise across various asset classes and a commitment to conservative investment strategies.
