The Fund may also invest in derivatives for hedging purposes.

Manager CommentsLaminar Credit Opportunities Fund returned 0.80% in July and 9.31% over the prior year with a volatility of 0.76.

The Sharpe ratio was 8.51 and all monthly returns were positive over the last 12 months.

Risk assets have been the beneficiary of low volatility in recent times (compare the volatility of the ASX 200 over the last 12 months with the average volatility of the ASX 200 index over the past 10 years of 13%). However, this low vol environment will end (possibly when the Fed starts to raise rates) and we think when it does, the difference between the volatility of the Fund versus the ASX 200 will be even more exaggerated than it has been over the past 12 months.
