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 rose 3.79% in May as its benchmark (MSCI AC World Total Return in Australian Dollars) rose 2.91%, resulting in outperformance of 0.88%. Since inception the Fund's annualised return per annum was 28.54%, compared to the AFM's Global Equity Index of 28.12%.

The biggest contribution to performance was from the exposure to the US health service sector, represented by HCA Holdings and Anthem. The second biggest winner came from the US bank exposure as banks there rallied on the back of a steeper yield curve, improving their margins. The main detractors from the month's performance was mainly due to the pullback in the Chinese market and stocks relating to that position.

The Fund has over 50.2% of their equity exposure in North American and 33.0% in the Financial Sector. The Fund closed May fully invested, with the continuing overweight to China, along with lesser overweights to India and Japan, funded from underweight positions in the US and Europe and the rest of the emerging markets.
