Nanuk Global Alpha Fund Monthly Report – July 2014

The Fund reported a loss of 1.3% in July which has resulted in a 1-year rolling return of 17.0% and a 2-year rolling return of 14.0% p.a.

US and European equity markets were down in July, and clean energy related equities performed particularly poorly. The Fund’s gains in June on exposure to solar LED solid state lighting and solar were reversed during the month. As mentioned previously, as a long-term theme we continue to believe in is the improving fundamentals of selected LED component manufacturers, despite improving financial performance not yet being translated into stock prices.

The Fund however did see positive contributions from long positions in fuel cell and residential solar inverter manufacturers, with the Canadian fuel cell business Hydrogenics being a particularly strong performer. An interesting recent trend we have witnessed is that of fuel cell technology reemerging in 2014 after being widely dismissed, and of particular interest has been the opportunity associated with this technology as a means of energy storage. For further details on fuel cell technology and the opportunities present within this sub-sector, do please read our attached Monthly Report – July 2014.

The Fund remains close to market neutral at the end of July, and we continue to see a variety of interesting opportunities both long and short across a range of industries.
