Fund results for August 2011:
The Fund’s trading strategies yielded mixed results in August as volatility continued to rise in conjunction with political and economic uncertainty. Global contagion fears escalated to new levels during the month following the downgrade of U.S. debt and heightened fears of a downgrade of French debt. The Fund’s trend following models produced gains in bonds and money markets as safe haven capital flooded to sovereign debt. The Fund’s short-term strategies also contributed positively to overall performance as gains in bonds, metals, and energies offset losses in stocks and currencies.
The Fund’s allocation to bond markets outperformed once again in August as the fear trade picked up momentum amid flagging consumer sentiment as governments continued to fail to address long-term deficit challenges. U.S. bonds skyrocketed over 7% as safe haven demand surged with the S&P downgrade of U.S. debt and subsequent heavy liquidation in global equity markets. The trading strategies also produced gains from short-term interest rate futures positions in August as the uptrend remained firmly entrenched. Short-term rate futures around the world spiked higher early in the month as equities sold off in response to uncertainty surrounding the debt of both sovereigns as well as major financial institutions. Somewhat paradoxically this led to a flight to safety to some of the very sovereigns that were coming under fire, most notably the U.S.
Allocations to equities markets yielded negative results in August as global markets collapsed under the weight of fears surrounding the stability of major international banks. Equity market volatility skyrocketed as S&P’s downgrade of U.S. debt was followed by fears of a French downgrade due to exposure to Italy. Global growth expectations contracted quickly sending Italian (-15.7%), Spanish (-8.9%), and French (-11.4%) shares sharply lower, prompting regulators to establish short-selling bans. Short sellers responded by attacking Europe’s leading economy, sending
Germany’s DAX to a loss of 19.4%. Asian markets also suffered amid global contagion fears, as Japan (-9%), Korea (-13%), and Singapore (-9.7%) witnessed double-digit declines. Late month news that Warren Buffet was investing $5 billion in embattled Bank of America shares along with a surprisingly strong U.S. durable goods number and a Greek bank merger restored some measure of confidence while limiting losses in the Dow Jones to 4.1%. The Fund’s currencies positions also yielded negative returns in August as the euro and U.S. dollar settled into tight ranges while risk currencies reversed lower.
Other market sectors, relative to those discussed above, did not have a substantial influence on the Fund’s relatively flat performance in the month of August.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
