Fund OverviewThe Australian Eagle Trust Long-Short Fund aims to achieve strong double digit returns by allowing clients to access Australian Eagle's demonstrated historical strength in constructing Australian share portfolios applied to a long-short product. Using a combination of Australian Eagle's actual long investment performance in conjunction with a short selling discipline, suggests that this product can provide strong investment returns along with an alpha performance that is negatively correlated to the broader Australian equity market.
Manager CommentsThe Australian Eagle Trust Long-Short Fund returned -0.34% in October, in line with the Index's -0.35%. The Fund has risen +29.49% over the past 12 months against the ASX200 Accumulation Index's +19.29%. Since inception in July 2016, the Fund has returned +19.83% p.a. versus the Index's +12.19%.

The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios, 1.53 and 2.89 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 1.18 and Sortino of 2.01, highlight the Fund's capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns whilst avoiding the market's downside volatility over the long-term. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios, 133.1% and 71.0% respectively, indicate that, on average, the Fund has significantly outperformed in both rising and falling markets since inception.

Over the September quarter, the Fund returned +1.26%. The long side of the portfolio contributed positively while the short side of the portfolio detracted from performance. Positive individual contributors included CYBG (short), Treasury Wine Estates (long) and ResMed (long). Key detractors included James Hardie (short), Domino's Pizza Enterprise (short) and Flight Centre (short).
