Trading Advisor's Commentary
as ofMarket Review and Outlook
The performance of the Parus Fund I EUR Hedged share Class was +1.36% in March.
March was a strong month for equity markets with the MSCI World up +3.1% and the Euro Stoxx 50 up +7.8%. It was also another month of outperformance of value vs growth with the Nasdaq up only +0.4%. Towards the end of the month, SPACs, high growth and momentum corrected significantly. For Parus, value positions performed well with stocks in Auto and Financials as leading contributors. Facebook, the largest contributor was also one of the few positive contributors in the growth book. Also after a significant rebound of cyclicals pricing in the reopening of the economy, higher quality structural names, more defensive in nature, for example in healthcare, trading at very low multiples, started to contribute positively. We continue to see both long and short opportunities in the market and the Fund currently comprises a balanced mix of growth/value. The coming months will see a significant regime change of YoY KPIs impacting both Covid victims, beneficiaries and stimulus data, as a reflection of the one year anniversary of Covid.
At the end of March, the net exposure of the Fund was 75.0% of the NAV, with a long exposure of 88.9% and a short exposure of 13.9%. The gross exposure was 102.8% of the NAV.
