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 +4.35% in October, outperforming the ASX200 Accumulation Index by +2.42% and taking 12-month performance to +10.06% vs the Index's -8.15%. Since inception in July 2016, the Fund has returned +17.50% p.a. vs the Index's annualised return of +7.13%.

The Fund's Sharpe and Sortino ratios (since inception), 1.07 and 1.50 respectively, by contrast with the Index's Sharpe of 0.47 and Sortino of 0.49, highlight its capacity to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns while avoiding the market's downside volatility. The Fund's ability to significantly outperform in both rising and falling markets is demonstrated by its up-capture and down-capture ratios (since inception) of 147.9% and 81.1% respectively.

The portfolio's largest positive contributors in October came from long positions in ResMed Inc, AMP Ltd and Commonwealth Bank of Australia Ltd. The largest detractors were short positions in Challenger Ltd, Virgin Money UK and Cimic Ltd. The Fund ended the month with 32 long positions and 20 short position, 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.
