Superfund Cayman
Superfund Cayman 1 ended the month of October with a performance of +35.12 %
The global credit crisis continued to extract a steep price across world equity, currency, and commodity markets in October amid the
realization that severe economic damage appears to be inevitable and widespread. Global equity markets posted losses between 20% and
35% as interbank lending came to a near halt amid fears of a meltdown of the entire financial system. Volatility rose to levels not seen since
1987 as investors liquidated positions in equities and commodities in a mad rush to raise cash. Short term treasury markets moved to multi
year highs as widespread deleveraging across various asset classes converged into 3 month government debt. The US dollar benefited from
heavy liquidation in emerging markets ranging from South America to Asia and Eastern Europe. The Yen posted gains of 16%-21% against
the Euro, the Australian Dollar, and the Canadian Dollar amid an unwinding of the carry trade, adding fuel to dollar gains in the process.
Meanwhile, commodities, from energy markets to metals and agricultural products, continued to deflate as demand destruction gathered
momentum while productive capacity remained at elevated levels due to recent historic price appreciation.
