| 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 M&A sub-strategy contributed 2.6% of the Fund's monthly return as Chinese ADR proposed privatization companies re-rated during the month. Another positive development during the month was the upward revision to terms in the merger between Power Assets (6 HK) and Cheung Kong infrastructure (1038 HK). The Index Futures strategy was the biggest detractors of the month. The Fund's average gross and net exposures remained at 192.3% and 6.1% respectively.
