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 rose +9.97% in May, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +5.61% and taking annualised performance since inception in July 2016 to +16.73% p.a. versus the Index's +6.80%. Over the 12 months to May 2020 the Fund has outperformed the Index by +14.56%. The Fund's up-capture and down-capture ratios for performance since inception, 139.4% and 79.6% respectively, highlight its capacity to significantly outperform in both rising and falling markets.

The largest positive contributions in May came from long positions in Pushpay Holdings, Fortescue Metals Group and Evolution Mining. The largest detractors were a long position in CSL and short positions in Flight Centre Travel Group and Virgin Money UK.

The Fund had 32 long positions and 25 short positions at month-end, with the largest exposure being to medical devices & services and technology stocks. The Fund ended the month with relatively less exposure to banking and real estate stocks.
