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 CommentsThe Frazis Fund rose +16.7% in May, outperforming AFM's Global Equity Index by +14.6% and taking 12-month performance to +12.85% versus the Index's +9.83%. Frazis noted the past few months have proved an excellent example of the strength and defensiveness of the technology sector and that their belief is companies at the forefront of innovation should for the core of an investor's portfolio. The Fund's outperformance in May was largely due to the manager's decision to focus the Fund almost entirely in these companies.

Frazis have continued reducing their holdings in software firms that have doubled or tripled from the lows and are reinvesting the proceeds into areas they think are next most likely to benefit, such as renewables. At the end of May, the Fund held significantly more cash than usual at over 15% of the portfolio.

Frazis' base case remains that economic activity is depressed around the world on average, with pockets of the world, such as the technology sectors, experiencing a true boom. They Fund has remained invested in over 35 stocks across the manager's core thematics: software, e-commerce, digital health, life sciences, renewable energy, and companies changing the way people live.
