Fund OverviewThe Totus Alpha Fund aims to maximise returns for investors through fundamental industry and company research and active portfolio management. The investment strategy is based on identifying medium to long term structural investment themes and seek absolute returns by investing in securities that have concentrated exposure to those themes.

The Fund is a long/short investment fund principally investing in listed entities, commodities, futures and options in Australia and internationally. The Fund is not a market neutral fund and accordingly may switch between net long positions and net short positions. The Fund may use short sales and derivatives.

Gearing may be used to enhance returns and the Fund may be geared in excess of 100% of the Fund's Net Asset Value. There is a limit to net exposure of 150%.
Manager CommentsTotus Alpha Fund had a sound month returning 3.99% during May and 42.05% over the previous twelve months. Volatility was high at 16.36% compared to the ASX 200 Accum Index at 8.87%. The Sharpe ratio was 2.10 (Index 1.49). Up and Down Capture ratios were sound at 1.01 and -2.10 respectively.

At month-end the Fund had net exposure of 50% and a gross exposure of 217% with 112 positions.

From an absolute return point of view the last 6 months has been challenging. Many of the optimistic scenarios being touted at the end of 2013 have failed to eventuate and the many of the companies we have had contact with recently are finding things tough (just this week we have seen profit warnings from TRS, PBG and FLT to name a few).
