Fund OverviewThe Frazis Fund is a thematic long/short global equity fund, with a macro overlay. The portfolio pairs high conviction, concentrated, long-term equity investments, with asymmetric, proprietary hedging strategies, to create a unique and highly differentiated return profile.

The manager follows a disciplined, process-driven, and thematic strategy focused on five core investment strategies:

1) Growth stocks that are really value stocks;
2) Traditional deep value;
3) The life sciences;
4) Miners and drillers expanding production into supply deficits;
5) Global special situations;

The manager uses a macro overlay to manage exposure, hedging in three ways:

1) Direct shorts
2) Upside exposure to the VIX index
3) Index optionality
Manager Comments

The Frazis Fund returned +2.04% in its first month, with top contributors including Afterpay (+1.9%), Cooper Energy (+0.9%) and HCA Healthcare (+0.7%), as well as the Fund's equity shorts (+1.9%). The Fund is 100% invested in the Manager's favourite themes, while hedging in three ways: direct shorts, VIX upside and index hedges. Read the monthly report for the Manager's reasoning behind this hedging strategy.

In the Fund's latest report the Manager highlights Weibo; one of the Fund's new stocks. Weibo is a US$17 billion social media platform in China. Read the full monthly report for the Manager's full view on the company.

Frazis also highlighted their concerns surrounding US unemployment data, noting that US unemployment is now below 4%. They noted that previous lows marked times when economic fundamentals looked excellent, but subsequent returns for investors were poor. The Fund is being positioned carefully for this environment.
