C8/GreenBlue Good Governance US Equity L/S Certificate February Report

In the first Monthly Report for the C8/GreenBlue Good Governance US Equity L/S Certificate we focus on the large out-performance of the Certificate versus the S&P 500. One of the standout attributes in the backtest is that, whilst our Index typically performs well in equity bull markets, importantly it tends to outperform the S&P in volatile/bear markets, as capital heads to the safety of ‘well run’ companies. The last few weeks has been the first live test of this thesis, and we are pleased that this has indeed, so far, occurred.  At Friday’s close, the Certificate is up 1.2% since inception on January 21st, despite having a 40% long bias and the S&P500 dropping nearly 10%.

MI2 Partners – Thoughts From The Divide: Spectacle

BY JON WEBB
Another week into Trump 2.0 and you’d be forgiven for starting to tune out some of the news around the administration. After all, nothing screams kabuki more than touting “yuge” concessions from the Canadian and Mexican governments that were already in the works… Admittedly it’s two birds with one stone (that was going to be thrown anyway) for the US’s neighbors, but it does make it hard to take the threat of tariffs seriously. That being said, while some of the spectacle is certainly theater, like a bullfight it does come with horns as markets and political actors react to the latest news. Read more →
