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%.
