Fund OverviewThe Fund will primarily consist of Global listed shares, and will generally have at least 50% of its net assets invested in these. It may also have short positions in shares that the Manager believes are over-valued, and likely to fall in price, as well as long and short positions in index futures and other derivatives, fixed interest instruments, commodities, credit instruments and currencies.
Manager CommentsMorphic Global Opportunities Fund returned 1.12% (Global Equity Index 0.25%) during October bringing the annual return to 15.62% (Index 16.10%) with a volatility of 8.62%.

The Fund's since inception (Aug 2012) Sharpe and Sortino ratios are 2.34 and 7.29 with 78% positive months.

The Fund is not as heavily invested in Japan as it has been, but stocks there still contributed significantly to performance. This was thanks to continued strong gains in the Japanese Drug Stores basket, and currency hedging put in place early in the month, which paid off substantially when the BOJ launched its last day of the month surprise and the Yen fell nearly 3% in a few hours.

The Fund closed the month fully invested, reflecting confidence the worst macro economic shocks are probably behind us for the balance of the year. The Fund has hedged most of its Japanese stock exposure to protect against further Yen weakness.
