Fortitude Capital's Equity Market Neutral funds continued their positive performance in October, returning +3.12% for the onshore fund, and + 2.35% for the Cayman fund, bringing YTD 2008 performance to 11.64% and 7.75% respectively.
Given the market's (ASX200) performance of -12% for October and a continuing restriction on short selling, Fortitude's performance is undoubtedly positive. The fact that Fortitude's onshore fund has yet to record a negative month this year is almost unique, even amongst absolute return funds.
Fortitude's onshore fund has close to a 4 year track record, and has achieved positive returns in 41 out of 44 months.
