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 +13.9% in June, outperforming AFM's Global Equity Index by +14.25% and taking performance over FY20 to +38.81% against the Index's +3.94%. Since inception in July 2018, the Fund has returned +8.64% p.a. against the Index's annualised return of 7.77%. The Fund's up-capture ratio of 170.31% since inception highlighted its capacity to significantly outperform in rising markets.

Of the top 10 ASX stocks over FY20, the Frazis Fund had 3 - Afterpay (#1), Mesoblast and Polynovo. Frazis noted companies with brilliant products and broad customer support are faring significantly better than mature incumbents. Frazis believe there is a strong chance Afterpay will enter the Chinese market with Tencent, or at the very least, Hong Kong, which they expect would add years to the company's current growth runway. Other positive contributors over the quarter included Pinduoduo, Carvana, Tesla, Twist Bioscience and Moderna.

Frazis believe the multiples of many technology stocks need to compress by 25-50% to re-enter normal valuation ranges. They noted this could happen quickly tomorrow or slowly over time. With this in mind, they are selectively holding companies that they expect to have 300 - 500% larger revenues in 3 - 5 years.

Looking forward, the Fund will continue to be invested across its usual themes: Software, Solar & Renewables, Online Retail, Life Sciences, Fintech, Digital Health and companies that change the way people live.
