| Fund Overview | The Fund will usually hold 40 to 80 positions and will be well diversified across the various event strategies. In keeping with the absolute return focus the Manager will eliminate market risk where appropriate by hedging market and foreign currency risks. Since inception the Fund has averaged a net equity market exposure of ~10%. Sizing of an investment position will depend on the expected risk adjusted returns while taking account the liquidity and volatility of the stock. In addition, the maximum potential loss on any one position should be greater than 0.5% of the NAV and the position should not exceed 30% participation of stressed volume assuming a $200m NAV. Other criteria considered are ability to hedge and the availability of pair candidates as well as the average bid-ask size. For M&A strategies average long position is 3 to 5.5% and average short position 2 to 5%. |
| Manager Comments | The overall negative return attribution for the M&A sub-strategy was -2.8%, which was a result of dislocation in the US ADR spreads during the month. Average spreads during the month continued to fluctuate around volatility in the Chinese markets. The volatility stems from the uncertainty on whether these deals will proceed. The Index Futures and Options/FWDs strategies contributed positively to the month's performance. However, Capital Management and M&A strategies were biggest detractors of the month. On average, the Fund's net and gross exposures were 7% and 228% respectively. Click below to read the complete Fund Manager's Report. |
