Sector Commentary
Overall Fund performance was negative, led by losses in the fixed income, currencies, grains and foods sectors. Gains in the equities, metals and energies sectors partially offset trading losses.
Negative fixed income performance was driven by positions in the German bund, Euro OAT futures and short sterling. Negative performance in currencies was driven by positions in the British pound, euro, Australian dollar, and Brazilian real. Gains from positions in the Mexican peso partially offset sector losses. The negative performance in grains and foods was led by positions in soybeans, soybean meal and coffee.
The equities sector performance was positive, led by positions in the Nikkei, EMINI MSCI EM and the OMX 30 indices. Losses from positions in the FTSE index offset some of the gains. Performance in the metals sector was positive and led by positions in gold, palladium and silver. Positive energies performance was driven by positions in gas oil and heating oil.
