Regal's Amazon and Tasman Market Neutral Funds fell -1.26% and -4.15% respectively in October against a backdrop of a fall of 14% in the ASX, as long standing short positions continued to work well in the weak overall market. However, positive performance from the short positions in both funds was not sufficient to offset one long position which fell over 50%.
