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 5.13% in July as its benchmark (MSCI AC World Total Return in Australian Dollars) rose 5.57%, resulting in under-performance of 0.44%. Since inception (August 2012), the Fund is up 27.84% annualised.

The biggest contribution to performance was from the US Banking position in Bank of Internet. The other large gain came from the Japan drugstore. The strengths of the Fund's risk management process was evident in July as China was again the largest detractors. However the stop-losses triggered by the falling market meant the Fund suffered much less pain there than it might have. The recovery in Europe saw the Fund lose money on their hedges. The Fund had over 52% of their equity exposure in North American and over 28% in the Financial Sector.
