Manager CommentsThe Laminar Credit Opportunities Fund returned 0.65% over the month of May, bringing its annual performance since inception to 18.96% per annum with the annual volatility of 7.46%. The Fund has notable Sharpe and Sortino Ratio of 1.94 and 19.14 respectively.

The Fund believes that volatility in interest rates markets is likely to rise over the next couple of year as the US Federal Reserve starts to raise its cash rate. Funds with interest rate exposure will experience negative returns. The Fund which only has exposure to the credit markets (it has a credit duration of around 2 years) should avoid this volatility. Majority of the Fund's portfolio composition was in Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) at 69% and Short-dated loans at 20%.
