MHOR Managed Fund returns +5.14% for December 2016
We are pleased to report the Fund returned +5.14% for the month of December against the benchmark, which was up 3.61%. This resulted in an outperformance relative to the market of 1.53%. Since inception in August 2016, the Fund has outperformed the market by 5.10%, returning an absolute +2.59% compared to the benchmark which is down -2.51%.
We entered December with 34 stocks (including 1 unlisted) and just 1.4% cash as we were looking to take advantage of the post Trump rally as much as we could. In December we changed tack, with the later part spent preparing the fund for the upcoming earnings season, steadily de-risking the portfolio into market strength, raising cash that we hope to put to work following the clarity that comes from earnings reports due mid to late February. Our plan for earnings season - avoid unnecessary risk, move quickly where we see opportunity and getting set early in the stocks we like. The benefits of being small and nimble!
We exited December with 33 stocks and 11.2% cash.
