Manager CommentsThe Laminar Credit Opportunities Fund returned 0.48% over the month of July, delivered 7.58% over the past 12 months. Since inception, the Fund has an annualised return of 18.59% p.a (RBA Cash Rate Index 3.45% p.a), to give notable Sharpe and Sortino Ratio of 1.93 and 19.05 respectively.

Despite the volatility, the Fund produced a positive monthly return. This was helped by the Fund having a low weighted average credit duration (1.87 years as at July 31)/ The Fund Manager expects this low credit duration should help avoid significant volatility going forward, which could seen when the US Federal Reserve raise rates. In July, majority of the Fund's portfolio composition was in Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) at 69% and Short-dated loans at 19%.
