Fokus Market Neutral Hedge Fund Launch date: 20th September 2013 Founder: Fokus Asset Management Manager: Fokus Asset Management Portfolio Size: 12,5 M TRL Investment Strategy: Quantitative Fokus Market Neutral Equity Hedge Fund 1
Investment Strategy of the Fund Based on the expectation of relative performance of the financial assets to be normalized during time, and the assumption of the financial asset prices showing specific pricing movements in short/medium term, the Fund takes positions with a quantitative investment strategy. The aim of the investment strategy is to generate an absolute return from the relative index performance of the stocks while having long position on stocks in BIST 30; and short position on BIST 30 index futures. The portfolio is kept «Market Neutral» by taking long positions fully hedged with index futures. it is also aimed to deliver an absolute return, uncorelated from the incomes of basic asset classes such as «FX, interest rate and equity». 2
Financial &Tax Advantages of the Fund Market Neutral strategy offers a return which is competely independent from the basic asset classes returns; such as exchange, interest and stock. Compared to the market directional strategies having only long or short position; it has much lower votality. The direction of the market is either down or up, it targets positive return. As its correlation with the other asset classes is indeed low, it can be evaluated as an alternative to time deposits and fixed income instruments. With the confirmation of prospectus by CMB on 25th October, 2016 our fund is exempted from withholding tax. 3
How is the Investment Strategy Implemented? A long portfolio is created based on the quantative stock selection model including all BIST 30 index components with different weights and at the same time, the portfolio is fully hedged by selling BIST 30 Index Futures contracts. And then stock weights continously changed based on the «model output» in certain periods.the size of the short BIST 30 Index Futures contracts is also adjusted according to the new portfolio size. 4
