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 +15.5% in August, taking 12-month performance to +52.02% vs AFM's Global Equity Index's +6.41%. Since inception in July 2018, the Fund has returned +18.57% p.a. vs the Index's annualised return over the same period of +9.39%. The Fund's capacity to significantly outperform in rising markets is highlighted by its up-capture ratio (since inception) of 219.90% which indicates that, on average, the Fund has risen more than twice as much as the market during the market's positive months.

The Fund's August return was achieved with over 35 positions. Since initial purchase, some of the Fund's best performing investments include Afterpay (return since initial purchase of 17x), Carvana (5x), Shopify (5x), Xero (4x) and Tesla (4x). Frazis noted their systematic framework based around customer love and explosive growth is working to identify strong performing stocks long before they become household names.

They are currently working on a number of new undisclosed opportunities that, in addition to having a devoted customer fanbase and explosive growth, are trading at the low multiples that marked the stocks mentioned previously as good buys. Frazis aim to remain invested in the highest quality and fastest growing companies they can find.
