Fund OverviewThe Fund will primarily consist of Global listed shares, and will generally have at least 50% of its net assets invested in these. It may also have short positions in shares that the Manager believes are over-valued, and likely to fall in price, as well as long and short positions in index futures and other derivatives, fixed interest instruments, commodities, credit instruments and currencies.
Manager CommentsMorphic Global Opportunities Fund returned -1.57% over August with net leverage of 88%.

The Fund's lower risk is evidenced by a downside deviation of 1.87% (ASX 200 Accum 5.70%). The Sortino ratio of 14.88% as compared to 3.37% (Index) and the Sharpe ratio of 3.10 compared to 1.87 (Index) demonstrate the Fund's strong risk-adjusted returns.

In a weak month, the Fund's top contributors were a few individual stocks in a variety of countries along with some hedges. Offsetting this were givebacks on two of July's main alpha sources: currency and interest rate hedges and the Fund overweight to the US bank sector.

The Fund ended the month underweight the US market, and to a lesser degree also underweight Europe and Emerging Markets. It remained overweight Japan, but overall a little less than fully invested.
