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 +6.1% in July, taking 12-month performance to +45.96% versus AFM's Global Equity Index's +2.80%. Since inception in July 2018, the Fund has returned +11.41% p.a. against the Index's annualised return over the same period of +8.34%. The Fund's up-capture ratio of 182.50% for performance since inception highlights its capacity to significantly outperform in rising markets.

In July, Frazis added to positions in Disney and digital health providers which they expect to benefit from a coronavirus vaccine, while also examining every other company in the portfolio. Frazis noted the five-year outlook for the portfolio holdings is stronger than ever, therefore they have left most of the portfolio unchanged. The top four contributors for the month included Afterpay, Carvana, Tesla and Livongo.
