| Fund Overview | 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 Comments | The Fund finished up 0.6% for the month, while Asian markets (FTSE Asia Pacific Index) fell -0.6%. Investor focus shifted to the impending China 'Through Train' as we observed significant movements in some dual listed structures. The Fund maintained average gross and net exposure of 215.7% and 10.2% respectively during the month. With focus on the 'Through Train', the Fund analysed the movements in the Hong Kong listed holding companies and noted that a contraction of the discounts was very much in swing since early in July. Prior to the Through Train announcement in April, we observed Hong Kong holding companies trading at ~ 35% discounts, which had contracted to ~ 25% by the end of August. The connectivity of the China and Hong Kong exchanges is very much a liquidity event which will present unique trading opportunities. |
