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 4.02% in October, underperforming its benchmark (MSCI AC World Total Return in Australian Dollars), which returned 6.16%, by 2.13%. The Fund has an annualised return since inception of 24.42% p.a., with notable Sharpe and Sortino ratios of 2.13 and 5.11 respectively.

According to the Fund Manager, the under-performance of the Fund against its benchmark, can be attributed to three main factors: 1) carrying cash, which is a performance drag in strongly rising markets; 2) style under-performance; and 3) adverse stock outcomes. However, the Fund's biggest win once again came from their large market neutral US Banks position. Other smaller win included a merger-arbitrage position on Australian document storage firm Recall. For the month, the Fund had over 54% of their equity exposure in the North American region and over 20% in the Financials Sector.
