BENNELONG KARDINIA ABSOLUTE RETURN FUND

Attached is our most recently updated Fund Review. You are also able to view the Fund's Profile

The Fund is long biased, research driven, active equity long/short strategy investing in listed ASX companies with a seven year track record. Since inception in May 2006 the Fund has returned 14.24% p.a. as compared to 4.93% (S&P/ASX 200 Accum Index) with a volatility of 7.81% p.a., around one-half of the ASX volatility of 14.76% p.a. The Bennelong Kardinia Absolute Return Fund rose 2.17% in October.

BHP Billiton, Seek, ANZ and CSL all made significant positive contributions. Share Price Index Futures (hedging long exposure), Iluka Resources and ResMed were the main detractors from performance. Once the US political gridlock passed, the net equity market exposure (including derivatives) of the Fund was increased aggressively to 71.0% (93.9% long and 22.9% short). 

The Fund also has a strong focus on capital protection in negative markets. Portfolio Managers Mark Burgess and Kristiaan Rehder have significant market experience, while the Bennelong Group provide infrastructure, operational, compliance and distribution capabilities.
