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 Long Short Fund's September return was broadly in line with the ASX200 Accumulation Index's -3.66%, while strongly outperforming by 15.3% over the past year, delivering investors a return of 5.11% vs. the market's loss of -10.21%.

The largest positive contributors for the month came from short positions in Virgin Money UK, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield and Cimic, while the detractors included long positions in QBE, CBA, and Nearmap Ltd. At the end of the month the portfolio had 32 long positions and 22 shorts, with the largest exposure in medical devices & services and technology stocks, with less exposure to the banking and real estate sectors.
