The OC Concentrated Equity Fund has returned 24.21% over three years and 2.69% over five years to 31 October, in stark contrast to the S&P/ASX 200 Accumulation Index which returned -6.94% and -0.18% over three and five years respectively.
Bina Brown lists the Top 10 long-short fund managers who are outperforming the broader market by using long-short strategies and highlights the necessary skills required to run this type of strategy. Despite global uncertainty, there are fund managers who are outperforming the market using long-short strategies says Brown. Having the necessary skills to sell shares that are overvalued and/or unloved by the market has been a definite boon for so called long-short fund managers, among those managers able to beat the broader market in recent years are those who adopt a long-short strategy.

The Financial Review highlights the recent strong performance of small-cap fund managers like OC. Most managers have done this by investing in small mining and exploration companies, however Brendan Lau points out the OC Premium Equity Fund has achieved top level investment performance without any investment directly into mining or exploration companies. “It comes back to our approach to investing in simple domestically focused businesses” OC’s Rob Frost told the AFR. “We dont invest in small resource stocks becausethey don’t fit our risk profile as most of them are either single commodity or single mine and a lot of them aren’t profitable.”
