| Fund Overview | The Fund aims to produce positive returns irrespective of the direction of the share market. For each investment the manager considers the risk, the timeline of that risk occurring and then the potential return. Low transaction costs and liquidity are other important factors in the success and implementation of the strategies. |
| Manager Comments | The Fund's risk profile is notable with an annualised standard deviation of 2.81% pa as compared to the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Acc with 14.42% pa. The since inception (May 2005) Sharpe ratio of 1.16 and Sortino of 2.35 are also high compared to the equity benchmark ratios of 0.16 and 0.12 respectively. As expected in this type of environment the Fund's Option portfolio was a significant contributor (+0.20%). ASX Limited's renounceable rights issue provided some profitable trading opportunities. The Fund actively traded the de-merger of News Corporation into New Newscorp and Twenty‐First Century Fox and expects to continue to generate positive returns. The Convergence strategy (+0.30%) also benefited from an improvement in the relative value of Wesfarmers Partly Protected Shares over Wesfarmers Ordinary Shares. This position remains the Fund's largest exposure. |
