Investing: Discover the Secret to Achieving Equity-Like Returns with Reduced Risk and High Performance in Uncertain Times!

Denver, Colorado – Upslope has set out to offer appealing returns akin to equities while minimizing market risks and reducing correlation with traditional equity strategies. The last quarter presented challenges for Upslope due to biases in its regular style, but Q3 brought about a favorable environment that reflected positively on performance.

Market conditions are currently rife with cynicism, with investors showing a preference for possible frauds as trading options amidst escalating risks. Despite the highly expensive market conditions and underlying geopolitical tensions, investors seem optimistic about post-election relief leading to reduced volatility.

The Fund has made strategic moves by adding new long positions in companies like CME Group, CompoSecure, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, while exiting Finning, and reducing holdings in Garmin and Kongsberg. Despite market highs, value opportunities are still being identified with potential short positions being explored.

During the quarter’s end, the Fund’s gross and beta-adjusted net exposures stood at 151% and 44%, respectively, showcasing a high number of perceived opportunities in the portfolio. The addition of new positions and updates on existing holdings like CME Group, CompoSecure, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries have been instrumental in portfolio positioning.

Upslope’s expansion of gross exposure two years ago has shown positive results, leading to higher returns despite increased volatility. The Fund’s shift towards a higher number of positions has enabled better risk management and improved patience in holding investments.

In conclusion, Upslope’s strategic moves in the market and portfolio have been carefully planned to optimize returns while managing risks effectively. The Fund’s adherence to its principles and adaptability to changing market conditions have been central to its continued success. George K. Livadas, the Fund’s manager, remains committed to delivering value to investors through a unique and well-thought-out investment approach.
