Energy trading made a negative contribution with positive
performance from long natural gas contracts and short electricity
positions offset by losses from oil positions.

The agricultural sector detracted; this was driven almost
entirely by long exposure to corn, as prices fell in light of less
severe weather forecasts. Small losses came from the currency
sector as short GBP, USD and EUR positions detracted from
performance.

AHL’s long positioning in the equity sector profited as markets
broadly rose over the month. Notable gains came from a long
position in Japanese equities which were boosted by talk of
additional monetary easing by the Bank of Japan.

Rising stock markets buoyed the credit sector as AHL’s short
positioning profited as the cost of credit default protection fell.
Further profits were added by a short allocation to both precious
and base metals. A fall in Chinese GDP growth undermined
demand expectations for industrial commodities whilst fears that
other struggling Eurozone nations would follow Cyprus’ lead and
dump their gold reserves spooked gold bugs.
Returns
Sep 10
A long exposure to the bond sector added a large share of
returns with European bonds, US Treasuries and Eurodollar
contracts all delivering solid profits. Demand for “safe haven”
bonds was buoyed by worsening growth prospects following
disappointing employment and corporate earnings news from
the US.
