Trading Advisor's Commentary
as ofMarket Review and Outlook
The performance of the InRIS Parus Class I Euro hedged was -0.91% in September, where the long book detracted and the short book contributed positively. The Fund is at 8.01% YTD and at 12.42% since inception.
The MSCI World corrected -3.4% in September after a sustained rally lasting since April.
The balanced portfolio construction of the Parus Fund between growth and value explains the outperformance despite the high net exposure. Negative contribution from the long book came from Media and Software names as growth experienced a month of underperformance, and was offset partially by positive performance of William Hill, US consumer financials and Alibaba.
The short book contributed positively mostly thanks to Credit Acceptance and Fortescue.
At the end of September, the net exposure of the Fund was +75.0% of the NAV, with a long exposure of +85.0% and a short exposure of -10.0%. The gross exposure was 95.0% of the NAV.
In the long book, Internet (+23.2%) was the largest sector, followed by Software (+10.9) and Pharmaceuticals (+10.2%). The long portfolio held 34 positions. In the short book, Finance (-3.6%) was the largest sector, followed by Basic Materials (-2.7%) and Retail (-1.3%). The short portfolio held 17 positions.
