ALTIN market review and portfolio holdings
as of 1st July 2014
Baar, 15 July 2014 - ALTIN AG (SIX: ALTN, LSE: AIA), the Swiss alternative investment company listed on the London and Swiss stock exchanges, today discloses its entire hedge fund portfolio holdings as part of its policy of full transparency to investors. The portfolio, featuring more than 40 underlying hedge funds and representing over 10 investment strategies, is particularly well diversified and has a NAV performance of +202.11%1 since its inception in December 1996.
ALTIN continues to deliver solid outperformance
After the +24.65% share price appreciation in 2013, the positive share price trend has continued in 2014, with ALTIN shares rising by a further +8% during the first half of the year. The share price discount to NAV has fallen significantly since the beginning of 2014, reducing from 24.4% to 20.6%2. These positive developments reflect the renewed investor interest in ALTIN, which is underpinned by the successful share buyback programme implemented in September 2103, as well as ALTIN's compelling intrinsic strengths in terms of alternative investment outperformance, full transparency and active fund management. ALTIN's permanent capital base allows the portfolio to be judiciously allocated to funds that require a slightly longer lock-up without incurring any liquidity mismatch. The portfolio remains sufficiently liquid, with 63.1% of assets invested in funds with monthly or better liquidity, allowing the manager to make allocation shifts when deemed necessary.

ALTIN: Q2 2014 commentary
The portfolio was up for the quarter, with all strategies contributing positively except for the Interest Rate and Protection strategies allocations during a quarter characterised by a bullish environment across all markets, fuelled by a more dovish speech from Janet Yellen as well as more accommodating measures from Mario Draghi in Europe.
Roughly one third of the portfolio is allocated to equity-based strategies and another third to Event Driven strategies. This allocation is balanced by Macro strategies that have no systematic directional bias in their positioning and can act as a protection in a bear market as well as Relative Value strategies that have limited exposure to market beta. The portfolio is well positioned to capitalise on the current benign market environment whilst remaining mindful of potential risks. The protective strategies currently in place have a minimal negative carry but offer a sizeable profit profile in case some of these risks materialise.
With respect to changes in the portfolio, positioning has remained stable throughout the quarter with only minor changes within each strategy allocation. In the Macro silo, a relatively small position in a CTA was redeemed. A new position was added to the portfolio in the Event Driven silo via an established manager with the potential to generate substantial returns in the current environment. The Relative Value allocation was reinforced with two new additions via a Volatility Arbitrage and a Multi-Strategy fund. In equity hedge a manager focusing on US large caps with a bottom-up fundamental approach was added.
Macro funds contributed positively to the quarter as Systematic funds generated strong profits and offsetting the losses incurred by Discretionary Macro traders. Allocations to shorter-term Systematic Macro funds generated strong returns for the quarter. These funds took advantage of opportunities in fixed income and commodities futures markets. In commodities trading, a specialised grain trader profited from short positions in corn that were driven by his fundamental views and contrarian positioning. There has been a lot of pressure on Discretionary Macro funds as market trends have been difficult to capture. Most managers in that group were in a "wait and see" mode running low risk exposures as low volatility and lower US rates so far this year penalised their returns.
The equity hedge allocation bounced back after the severe sector rotation that rocked the markets earlier in the year. Stock reaction appears to have normalised again following the shake out of investors from overcrowded sectors such as healthcare, consumer and technology. Despite reducing risk earlier in the quarter, underlying managers held on to their high conviction trades and reengaged gradually with the markets as stocks reacted to fundamentals. Asian managers were mixed as Chinese markets were slightly up for the quarter but still down for the year, the best performance coming from a manager exposed to growth stocks such as Chinese internet names. The rally in emerging markets was not fully captured by the managers due to limited sizing in their portfolios.
Within the Event Driven allocation all the underlying funds were positive for the quarter as they benefited from the continuing upward trend in mergers and acquisitions as well as buyback activity. This environment has supported the trades of Event Driven managers in equities and credit. While typical merger arbitrage is out of favour due to prevailing low interest rates, the rise in corporate restructurings, spin-offs and recapitalisations has offered many interesting opportunities for managers investing in special situations. In Europe managers saw value in the shares of Greek banks while in the US restructurings such as in the airline industry have generated a lot of interest. Continuing consolidation in the telecoms and healthcare space proved rich with opportunities: in healthcare for example Valeant's hostile bid for Allergan was a profitable trade for many of the underlying managers while the Time Warner/Comcast deal was another situation in which managers participated successfully.
Within Relative Value, Equity Market Neutral managers were less impacted by the sector rotation that seems to have created opportunities for some of them. Similarly Multi-Strategy funds with a relative value approach did well during the quarter, as managers were able to capture market dislocations in equities and credit. Interest Rate Strategies detracted from performance due to a fund that is positioned long US Treasury and short agency MBS. This trade has a very strong optional profile that would provide additional protection to the portfolio if the economic situation were to change significantly from the current low growth environment.

ALTIN: Portfolio profile to remain stable
For the time being the portfolio is expected to remain fairly stable and at this stage anticipated hedge fund reallocations should not dramatically change the profile of the Fund. It is to be emphasised that a significant portion of the portfolio is liquid enough to quickly take advantage of new investment opportunities should they arise during the course of the year.
