Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Long/short equity drove performance with US TMT and European financials outperforming, while systematic trend following contributed positively despite commodity headwinds."

Executive Summary

Brummer Multi-Strategy delivered positive returns of 1.5% in September, benefiting from a multi-pronged approach across systematic trend following, long/short equity, and systematic macro strategies. The fund's systematic trend following strategies contributed positively through profitable positioning in developed market fixed income, equity indices, and FX, though partially offset by commodity losses. The long/short equity bucket provided the greatest contribution, with gains across US TMT sectors (excluding capital goods and semiconductors) primarily in the long book, while European financials generated solid alpha in both banking and insurance. Global healthcare positioning was mixed, with equipment gains offset by pharmaceutical losses. The systematic macro bucket ended flat as fixed income and FX gains were offset by commodity and equity losses. Portfolio managers rebalanced risk within the long/short equity allocation as of October 1st, positioning for evolving market conditions amid global monetary easing and China's significant stimulus measures.
