The BluMont Core Hedge Fund's market neutral strategy strives to deliver consistent and predicatable absolute returns. 

Effective July 1, 2010 Sherpa Asset Management became the investment manager for the BluMont Core Hedge Fund.

Most market neutral managers are trying to generate returns primarily from relative valuations between related stocks, i.e. stock picking.

We are targeting returns in any market by balancing stock picking risk with a dynamic option strategy. Obviously when volatility goes up, option premiums go up so when stock picking is challenged we have a natural offset.

The fund aims to:

  • Generate strong positive return in any market
  • Add meaningful diversification to balanced portfolios
  • Offset the risks of other market neutral strategies

The BluMont Core Hedge Fund employs a rigorous risk management policy in an attempt to mitigate large movements in the portfolio. Specifically the fund imposes the following risk management measures:

Market and sector risk

  • Net market exposure +10% to -10%
  • No sector over/underweight more than 5% to market

Concentration risk

  • No security more than 5% of NAV
  • No sector greater than 25% of NAV

Other risks

  • Currency – minimum 90% hedged to CAN$
  • Daily stress test to monitor portfolio risk profile

1. Effective July 1, 2010, Sherpa Asset Management became the investment manager of the BluMont Core Hedge Fund (the “Fund”).  The inception date of the Fund is June 2, 2006, and as such, performance calculations for the Fund, the S&P/TSX TRIV and the S&P 500 for June 2006 are based on a partial month. On July 1, 2010, the Fund changed its performance fee calculation methodology from a unitholder level to a fund level.  Prior to July 1, 2010, performance numbers for the Fund represented the hypothetical returns of a unitholder as if the unitholder had invested on the first day of the Fund’s operations with all distributions reinvested in the Fund and after deductions for performance fees, management fees and operating expenses.  Starting on July 1, 2010, the performance numbers for the Fund are based on the last official monthly valuation, net of performance fees, management fees and operating expenses. The Fund values on the last business day of each week (a “Valuation Date”) for purchase and redemption transactions.  For performance calculation purposes the Fund values on the last business day of the month, only if the last business day of the month is not a Valuation Date.  Performance periods prior to March 1, 2008 are calculated based on the last Valuation Date of each month which may or may not be the last business day.  Index performance is calculated as of the last business day of each month.
