Fund OverviewThe Monash Absolute Investment Fund is long biased equity hedge fund focused on the Australian market. It invests in shares as a source of specific opportunity, not to go up and down with the market.

The fund seeks to identify opportunities in the share market to make positive returns (long and short) irrespective of market conditions. It is style agnostic, as compelling investment opportunities exist across all investment styles from time to time. The Fund places a high priority on capital preservation, and has an absolute return focus in accepting market risk.
Manager CommentsMonash Absolute Investment Fund has a sound February returning 2.60% with the twelve month return 24.51% (ASX 200 Acc 10.56%).

The Fund's gross exposure at month-end was 99% and net exposure 88%. Beta is 0.5.

The Manager notes 'Most companies reported their half yearly results in February. We were pleased with the progress of all our companies as they reported in line with or slightly better than our expectations. Despite the market rising this month, the share prices of 4 of our outlook stocks decreased, and the share prices of 2 were flat, which held our return back somewhat. Our experience in the past has been that this often leads to solid performance in future months.'
