In July, performance was negative for the month, with losses in FX and fixed income outweighing gains in stocks and commodities. A broad-based short dollar position generated losses. As the dollar strengthened against most developed and emerging market currencies, long positions in the Great British pound, the Singapore dollar, and the Euro led declines, compounded by losses in Latin American-dollar crosses. A short Japanese yen position, however, generated gains. In fixed income, Long Euribor and SONIA positions led declines in rates trading, while long Swedish swaps and Italian government bonds (BTPs) also detracted. Long exposure to stock indices generated gains. Positions in the FTSE and Asian indices led contributions, boosted by US indices amid major trade announcements. Decreases in a long position in the Euro STOXX index coincided with investors uncertain on the value of the US-European trade deal. Commodities trading was beneficial, as gains in energies and agricultural outweighed metal losses. In energies, a short US natural gas position and long positions across the rallying oil complex were profitable. Long cattle positions gained as prices rose amid sustained demand and reduced supply. The primary detractor was a long copper position, during a period when copper was excluded from tariffs and the price premium on US futures decreased.
In August, performance was positive for the month, with gains from equities, fixed income, commodities and credit. In equities, gains were geographically diversified, led by long positions in the FTSE China A50 and Canada’s S&P/TSX 60 indices. Positions in the S&P/ASX 200 and TOPIX indices also generated gains. Credit performance was muted, as marginal gains from long US credit risk were largely offset by European exposure. Fixed income trading was accretive, as mixed positioning across the curve proved beneficial. At the short end, SOFR led gains amid investors appearing to position for more immediate US rate cuts. At the longer end, German government bonds and US mortgage-backed securities (MBS) generated gains. Long SONIA and Australian inflation-linked government bonds detracted from performance. Commodities were bifurcated, with gains from metals and agricultural offsetting losses in energies. Long exposure across the precious metals complex gained, led by silver and gold. In agricultural, gains from long cattle contracts were offset by coffee, where the Partnership changed its positioning from short to long. In energies, gains from short US natural gas positions were offset by longs across the oil complex.
In September, performance was positive for the month, with gains from equities, commodities and currencies outweighing losses in fixed income. Equities drove performance as broad-based long positioning benefitted the Partnership. A long position in the MSCI Emerging Markets index led the way, closely followed by Asia-Pacific indices. Positions in the Korean KOSPI, FTSE Taiwan and Hang Seng indices generated gains. Commodity gains were driven by metals, primarily long precious metals exposure, amid US rate cut expectations, a potential government shutdown, and geopolitical tensions. In commodities, gold led the performance charts. Trading in agricultural also proved accretive, led by a short position in wheat. Gains were partially offset, however, by detractors in energies, namely a short European energy position. In currencies, the Partnership’s short positioning against the dollar was beneficial, particularly in Latin American-dollar crosses. Amid policy uncertainty, long positions in the Brazilin real and Mexican peso led gains. Short exposure to the Indian rupee and Japanese yen against the dollar further added to gains. Fixed income was the only asset class to detract for the month. Losses were led by a long SOFR position. Elsewhere, losses were muted but broad-based as mixed positioning struggled. Long Australian bonds detracted alongside short positions in Gilts.
Three months ended June 30, 2025:
In April, the Partnership returned a negative return with losses in FX, credit, commodities, and stocks outweighing gains from fixed income. The Partnership's positions in Switzerland's SMI and the Hang Seng produced losses, while a short position in the Russell 2000 Index generated a small offsetting gain. Long credit positions also generated losses. The US dollar trade-weighted index fell. Emerging Market currencies fell relative to the US dollar. Losses were incurred in the South African rand, and Brazilian real. US dollar positions against the Swedish krona and Indian rupee generated small offsetting gains. Within commodities, the main driver of negative performance was in metals, but there was far from a uniform story. A long gold position was profitable. A long silver, position on the other hand, was unprofitable . Within energies, US natural gas generated a loss, and in agricultural, profits from trading wheat were offset by losses from soybeans. Fixed income trading finished the month in the black, with gains from long positions in short-term rates almost offset by losses from mixed positioning in longer duration trades in the US and Germany.
In May, the Partnership’s performance was negative with losses in FX, commodities, and bonds outweighing gains from equities and credit. Long SONIA and Euribor suffered. Further out the curve, long Korean index positions added to losses. Commodities trading proved challenging as all sleeves ended in the red and Energies led losses. Long coffee drove agricultural to losses. Gains from longs in livestock were only able to partially offset. Metals
