Flexible Equity Euro Long-Short (Market Neutral) strategy
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The strategy seeks long-term capital
appreciation with minimal correlation to
the general stock market while trying to
keep volatility about half that of the stock
market in which it is invested. It generally
takes long positions in securities of
European companies that score high in the
proprietary methodology and at the same
time have a short exposure (via futures) to
equity indices like the Euro STOXX 50.

PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS
In the nine months of 2017 the strategy averaged gross long exposure of 91% and gross short exposure of
67%, resulting in 24% net exposure across the portfolio.
A reasonable benchmark for the fund’s performance is an adjusted EURO STOXX 50 Index, which takes the
fund’s average net exposure and multiplies it by the index return, resulting in a 2.99% for the year to date
period. Hence, while our contribution year to date, 3.88%, is satisfactory, we recognize that the 1 year
performance has been delusional due to a rebound in lower quality stocks and a very positive performance
of the financial sector (where we are net short).
In any case, we are firmly convinced that a strategy where we are long a basket of the the cheapest quality
group of stocks and short the index is a valid proposition to build alpha with no correlations with the market.

Short (futures SX5E) PORTFOLIO CHARACTERISTICS In the nine months of 2017 the strategy averaged gross long exposure of 91% and gross short exposure of 67%, resulting in 24% net exposure across the portfolio. A reasonable benchmark for the fund’s performance is an adjusted EURO STOXX 50 Index, which takes the fund’s average net exposure and multiplies it by the index return, resulting in a 2.99% for the year to date period. Hence, while our contribution year to date, 3.88%, is satisfactory, we recognize that the 1 year performance has been delusional due to a rebound in lower quality stocks and a very positive performance of the financial sector (where we are net short). In any case, we are firmly convinced that a strategy where we are long a basket of the the cheapest quality group of stocks and short the index is a valid proposition to build alpha with no correlations with the market.
