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 +3.60% in July, taking 12-month performance to +4.19% versus the ASX200 Accumulation Index's -9.87%. Since inception in July 2016, the Fund has returned +17.95% p.a. against the Index's annualised return over the same period of +7.32%. The Fund up-capture and down-capture ratios for performance since inception, 146.54% and 79.62% respectively, highlight its capacity to significantly outperform in both rising and falling markets. The Fund's ability to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns over the long-term is supported by its Sharpe ratio of 1.08 for performance since inception vs the Index's 0.47.

The portfolio's largest positive contributors for the month came from long positions in Fortescue Metals Group, OZ Minerals and QBE Insurance Group, while the largest detractors were long positions in AMP, Pushpay Holdings and CSL. The Fund ended the month with 31 long positions and 23 short positions with the largest exposure to medical devices & services and technology stocks. The Fund ended the month with relatively less exposure to banking and real estate stocks.
