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%.

Thoughts From The Divide: Definitions and Animal Spirits

BY JON WEBB
We would be the first to admit a tendency towards pedantry: that we enjoy a little definitional punctiliousness. Surely, we are not alone in being amused by then-President Clinton asking, “what the meaning of ’is’ is”.  But rather than being a mark of a scholar, this kind of diving into minutiae is often as much a sign of sophistry as it is of sophistication. Case in point was the debate around the definition of “transitory”. It might seem intuitive that trees don’t grow to the sky, but Yellen and crew somehow wanted to argue that that was why they had in fact been right all along in their argument that Covid era inflation was “transitory”. Yes, Janet, you were right that, like all things, this too did pass. Read more →
