Fund results for May 2010:
The Fund’s allocation to global equities lost ground in May as cracks in the global financial system exposed in April opened further. Credit spreads widened dramatically among European banks as trust evaporated while authorities struggled to come to an agreement to address the structural problems facing the union. Meanwhile, Chinese economic prospects came under increasing scrutiny as demand from their number one trading partner (Europe) is expected to decline. Greece (-17.6%), Spain (-9.8%) and Italy (-7.5%) continued to underperform as they remain the focal point of the region’s debt concerns, while Germany’s Dax (-2.1%) and England’s FTSE (-5.2%) faired somewhat better. In the U.S., equities succumbed to a “flash-crash” on May 6th, with the Dow Jones dropping over 700 points in 15 minutes, only to recover most of that loss by the end of the day. After a small recovery, the market sold off into month-end, eclipsing the “flash crash” low and leaving the Dow Jones Industrial Average down sharply (-7.6%) for the month. The Fund’s mixture of long and short equity futures positions produced losses on the month.
Long positions in the global bond futures markets provided positive returns as the sovereign debt crisis in the euro-zone intensified, prompting the purchase of safe haven government securities. Front-monthU.S. 30-year Treasury bonds posted18-month highs on speculation that the debt contagion could hamper the fragile global economic rebound. Lower than expected U.S. PPI and CPI reports also provided support, overshadowing solid employment and retail sales data. In Europe, the EU agreed to a €750 billion bailout plan, however the creditworthiness of banks in the region continued to decline, causing the euro to depreciate dramatically and investor confidence to fall more than forecast. Front-month German bund futures pushed to record highs as a result. The two-month upward trend in Japanese10-year bond futures accelerated as the front-month contract traded to a26-month high. Demand for Japanese Government Bonds strengthened as investors exited emerging market currencies and bought safe assets at the same time as Japan’s GDP figures disappointed. The Fund realized gains from its bond futures positions during May.
The Fund’s currency market trading suffered losses as instability in financial markets combined with geopolitical concerns to yield a violent surge of assets into the perceived safety of the U.S. dollar. Fallout from a lack of European consensus in dealing with their sovereign debt crisis triggered soaring borrowing costs that closely resembled the level of mistrust seen following the 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers. The euro and Swiss franc fell 7.3% and 6.8%, respectively, while regional currencies, such as Hungary (-11%), Poland (-12.7%), Denmark (-7.8%) and Norway (-9.6%) suffered collateral damage. Late-month news that China was evaluating their euro exposure produced another round of selling. Meanwhile, disturbing news indicating that North Korea bore responsibility for the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel sent the Korean won tumbling 8.4%. U.S. dollar index futures extended recent gains by another 5.5% on safe haven buying during this market uncertainty. The Fund experienced losses in May from its mixture of long and short currency positions.
Fears that Greece’s sovereign debt crisis may evolve into a contagion propelled the U.S. dollar to its strongest levels against the euro since March 2009, while curbing the investment appeal of equities and commodities. July crude oil traded as low as $67.24 per barrel on May 25th before a late-month rally based on strong consumer confidence and durable goods orders led to a close of $73.98, which still represented a 16.2% loss for the month. Gasoline and heating oil followed crude oil lower as front-month contracts finished the month down 15.4% and 14.1%, respectively. Natural gas futures endured choppy action in May as mixed U.S. economic data and bearish supply reports due to ongoing mild weather caused wide price fluctuations. The Fund’s mixture of long and short energies futures positions led to a relatively large loss.
Other market sectors did not reveal significant trends and did not have a substantial influence on the Fund’s overall negative performance in May.
For the month of May 2010, Series A lost 13.14% and Series B lost 20.23%, net of all fees and expenses.
