Harvest Lane Asset Management Absolute Return Fund delivered a 3.06% return for the June 2026 quarter and 9.91% for the trailing twelve months, outperforming the RBA Cash Rate by 1.99% and 6.06% respectively. Since inception in July 2013, the fund has generated 9.11% annualized returns net of fees, exceeding the cash rate by 6.93% annually. The fund employs a high conviction, conservative approach focused on merger arbitrage and special situations with limited capital loss risk. With 71.15% positive months since inception and a maximum drawdown of 22.44%, the strategy demonstrates resilience through market cycles. The fund maintains low correlation (0.445) with the ASX200 and a beta of 0.301, positioning it as a defensive allocation option. Performance fees are charged only on returns above the RBA Cash Rate, aligning manager incentives with investor outcomes. The fund's selective approach targets opportunities with strong risk-adjusted returns while preserving capital.
The fund pursues absolute returns through highly selective merger arbitrage and corporate event opportunities with limited downside risk and positive return skew, maintaining low correlation to traditional asset classes while focusing on capital preservation.
