The performance of the Montaka fund hasn’t been so good over the last couple of months…combination of the performance of the short positions and the decline in some stocks such as Apple perhaps?

Hi Paul,
After an excellent 7 months to 31 January 2016, Montaka experienced a tough three months to 30 April 2016.
Attribution analysis shows the “long positions” made around 5.5 per cent, while the “short positions” lost around 12 per cent.
The strong rally in the A$ hindered performance by around 7.5 per cent.
That said, it seems to me the China-related boost which saw steel, iron-ore, several other commodities and the Australian Dollar all enjoy a short sharp bear market rally, is now diminishing.
