Fund OverviewThe fund provides investors with a long-short equity exposure to companies within the global mining, energy, steel, commodities and associated services sectors. The fund objective is to generate performance in excess of 15% per annum with an annualised standard deviation of between 8% and 12%.

The fund uses multiple strategies to profit from inefficiencies in the pricing of small and large companies and event driven activity.

The fund employs three core strategies:
- Pairs trading in liquid, large capitalisation stocks
- Directional long and short positions in mid and small capitalisation stocks
- Event driven (e.g IPO's, mergers and acquisitions), and other corporate activity.
Manager CommentsRising prices for many commodities in March helped Pengana's Global Resources Fund to gain 9.8% for the month.

Key contributors to the result were Anglo American (+20.25%), Atlas iron (+21.29%), Bluescope Steel (+20.25%) and Matrix Composites and Engineering (+34.62%).

The manager reports that long positions in Alumina, Mirabela Nickel and Gryphon Minerals were sold during the month while the fund's long position in Matrix Composites and Engineering was reduced.
