Fund OverviewThe Auscap Long Short Australian Equities Fund aims to generate strong absolute returns in excess of the RBA Cash Rate, with low correlation to equity markets.

The Fund focuses on fundamental long and short investments. The Fund may utilise a multi-strategy approach if short term opportunities to increase returns, hedge the portfolio, protect capital or minimise volatility are found.

The Fund is a high conviction fund and the combined portfolio will typically have 25-45 positions, investing primarily in stocks in the ASX200. The Fund may be net long, short or neutral depending on the strategies employed at the time. The Fund may hold cash so that it is in a position to take advantage of market volatility and compelling investment opportunities as and when they arise.

The Fund may be geared up to 200% gross long or short and up to 150% net long or short.
Manager CommentsAuscap Long Short Australian Equities Fund had a strong August returning 4.28% with an average net exposure of 61.1% (96.1% long and 35.0% short) across 22 long positions and 13 short positions.

The Manager has written an interesting piece on their view of the relative merits of large cap versus small cap investing.
