The Long/Short Global Fund is a systematic quantitative fund that seeks to generate meaningfully better than market performance over the medium term with similar volatility and lower drawdowns.
The Simulated (hypothetical) back-tested Model Portfolio – not actual results (tested from 1 January 2000 – Current) has averaged a slightly higher level net exposure across a portfolio of Australian, American and Canadian equities.
Simulated results have inherent limitations, are prepared with hindsight and do not reflect actual trading.
The “Implemented Portfolio” has delivered 23.9% p.a.* net of fees with a Sharpe Ratio of 1.06x and a Sortino Ratio of 1.55x over the first two years of operation.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Returns are net of fees.
Comparisons with VGS are shown only to illustrate an alternative investment. They are not fee hurdles. Fees are calculated against absolute hurdles set out in the IM.
