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.
