Fund OverviewThe Alpha Beta Asian Fund is a market neutral quantitative long short fund with exposure to liquid Asian equities.

The investment objective of the Fund is to produce positive annual returns without excessive risk. This is achieved through the use of a quantitative approach to invest both long and short in large cap companies listed on Asian stock exchanges. The Fund may also use index futures to manage risk.

Stock prices and company fundamental data are decomposed into directional and mean reverting components. Each of Alpha Beta's models are based on either of these known behaviours with capital management built into each model. The benefit of a quantitative approach is that it is both repeatable and unemotional, and allows a different source of returns to be extracted from a very noisy market environment.

Manager CommentsAlpha Beta Asian Fund returned 1.02% during July and 10.61% for the previous 12 months with a volatility of 4.18%. The Sharpe and Sortino ratios were 1.85 and 4.31 respectively.

Since inception, the low correlation (0.15) to MSCI Asia Pacific (MXAP) and low beta (+0.09) confirms the market neutral nature of ABAF with a Sharpe Ratio of 1.4.

The Manager's report is on the AFM website under the Fund's profile.
