Fund OverviewThe Fund will invest substantially all of its assets, to the extent not retained in cash or cash equivalents, in Class G Participating Shares of the Longlead Absolute Return Feeder Fund Ltd, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands, which in turn invests substantially all of its assets in Longlead Absolute Return Master Fund Ltd, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands, which predominantly deploys a long/short investment strategy based on fundamental, bottom up stock selection procedures and employs risk management techniques designed to manage portfolio risk.
Manager CommentsThe Longlead Pan-Asian Absolute Return Fund rose +5.56% in February, outperforming AFM's Asia Pacific Index by +4.46% and taking CYTD performance to +5.66% vs the Index's +1.11%.

Longlead noted the Fund has started the year strongly, with year-to-date performance of +5.66% compared to +1.11% for AFM's Asia Pacific Index. While the absolute dollar profits in the month were generated from the long book in line with the rising market, positive alpha was generated from both long and short positions.

Longlead added that with company reporting season playing out through the month it was notable to witness a higher than usual proportion of earnings beats across countries with a general theme of rapid earnings recovery evident against muted expectations. The Communication Services, Materials and Information Technology sectors contributed to Fund performance, while Consumer Discretionary positions detracted. By country, gains were posted in Taiwan, China and Australia, while a loss was generated in holdings in the United States.
