Fund OverviewThe Pengana Asia Special Events (Onshore) Fund employs an event-driven investment strategy that seeks to exploit the mispricing of securities of companies involved in corporate transactions within the Asian (including Japan, Australia and New Zealand) region.

The Fund seeks to profit from trading securities which are primarily subject to corporate events or from trading-related securities which the Investment Manager believes are mispriced by the market. The Fund invests in securities that are listed on Asian stock markets and other markets where related securities may be listed and in securities which are listed on markets outside of Asia where more than 70% (by assets or earnings) of the underlying business originates from an Asian country.

The Fund aims to generate consistently positive returns which have a low correlation to the Asian stock markets. The objective is to generate 10-20% pa with a standard deviation of 6-10%
Manager CommentsPengana Asia Special Events (Onshore) Fund returned 1.10% for October with a long term performance (since Oct 2008) of 12.01% pa (Index 7.99% pa) and a low market correlation of -0.1.

The Fund's risk statistics are sound with a volatility of 6.28% (Index 14.73%), maximum draw-down of 4.05% (Index 25.80%) and a down capture ratio of -0.46.

The positive contribution from M&A positions dominated the performance for the month, and this continues to be the most significant component within the Fund's strategic allocation. Australian and Hong Kong / Chinese markets proved particularly profitable while solid gains were also made in India and Thailand. All strategies made positive contributions for the month. The Fund maintained an average net and gross exposure of 11% and 155% respectively.
