Fund OverviewThe fund provides investors with a long-short equity exposure to companies within the global mining, energy, steel, commodities and associated services sectors. The fund objective is to generate performance in excess of 15% per annum with an annualised standard deviation of between 8% and 12%.

The fund uses multiple strategies to profit from inefficiencies in the pricing of small and large companies and event driven activity.

The fund employs three core strategies:
- Pairs trading in liquid, large capitalisation stocks
- Directional long and short positions in mid and small capitalisation stocks
- Event driven (e.g IPO's, mergers and acquisitions), and other corporate activity.
Manager CommentsPengana's monthly report noted the strong gains in commodity prices in September, in part buoyed by a weakening US dollar which fell 8.22% against the Australian dollar, 7.22% against the Euro, and fell to a 15 year low against the Yen.

As a result the S&P/ASX Metals and Mining index gained 8.02% for the month, while the FTSE 350 Mining Index gained 11.94% in local currency terms.

The manager reduced the fund's net long position during the month from 73% the previous month to 67%, and gross exposure dropped to 103% from 115% as the fund reduced holdings in some stocks and exited others which were replaced by new positions in Exxon Mobil, Posco and Consol Energy.
