| Fund Overview | PanAgora believes the best way to find opportunities in the global markets is to combine fundamental analysis with robust quantitative techniques in order to filter the investment universe and select the investments. The Fund invests primarily in listed equity securities from a global universe of developed markets and a select group of emerging market countries. The Fund's objective is to seek absolute returns by identifying and exploiting multiple inefficiencies that may exist in global equity markets. These inefficiencies are primarily exploited through the use of a long/short equity strategy which aims to construct a portfolio that is generally neutral to market movements. As such the performance of the investment strategy is largely independent of the market's performance. The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by using a diversified set of strategies that have low correlation to one another. In addition, because many of these strategies are designed to generate profit under different market conditions, their combination is expected to result in more stable returns over time than any individual strategy in and of itself. |
| Manager Comments | The December return was largely driven by the US and International long-term models, which contributed -0.78% and -0.48% respectively. The intermediate strategies outperformed modestly, resulting in a total contribution of +0.04% (both the US merger arbitrage and the US share class arbitration trades performed strongly). The short-term arbitrage strategies detracted -0.17%. The underperformance of the sleeve was almost exclusively caused by levered ETF trades. |
