24 Oct 2013 - Fund Review: Morphic Global Opportunities Fund

AFM has updated the Fund Review on the Morphic Global Opportunities Fund.  

Key points include:

• The Fund is a global equity long/short manager with a long bias and a macro-economic overlay. The mandate allows the Fund to short sell, use derivatives and invest in assets such as commodities & currencies.
• Portfolio construction is stock selection agnostic with a bias to value based and momentum strategies. Risk management is a primary consideration in portfolio construction and the strong emphasis on risk is evidenced by the Fund's very high Sortino ratio of 14.35 and maximum drawdown of -0.57%. 
• Morphic's philosophy is that only funds with flexible hedging strategies will be able to deliver acceptable, steady, real, absolute returns over the investment cycle.
• The Fund is an early stage, boutique, Sydney-based fund established in 2012 with experienced CIO's, and an investment team of 6 including a risk manager.
• The Board has a majority of independent members with significant risk and investment experience.
