Trading Advisor's Commentary
as of 31/08/2023Fund
The performance of the Parus Fund EUR Class was -0.99% in August. The Fund was at -3.79% YTD, -1.6% for 1 year, +7.36% for 3 years.
The MSCI World finished the month down -2.6% after correcting close to -5% intra month in the context of negative Chinese news flow. In general, market participants are far less bearishly positioned than at the beginning of the year and equity market valuations have increased in the past six months and are now pricing a soft landing of the US economy. In this context, more mixed price reactions to news are to be expected. The correction particularly affected Tech stocks which then rallied after extremely bullish results from Nvidia, which benefited Parus’ long portfolio. In the end, Parus’ long book negatively contributed in line with equity markets while the short book delivered strong alpha across both cyclical and unprofitable tech shorts.
At the end of August, the net exposure of the Fund was +30.14% of the NAV, with a long exposure of 59.36% and a short exposure of 29.22%. The gross exposure was 88.57% of the NAV.
