Physical book is 100% — futures are an additional derivative overlay
This fund's physical holdings (equity, debt, cash equivalents) independently sum to approximately 100% of NAV. The futures positions (long: 17.5% notional) are a derivative overlay on top, expressing additional directional views. Total gross exposure therefore exceeds 100%. Net Long (102.1%) reflects the combined effect of the physical book and the net futures position.

Portfolio Analysis
Updated July 2026
July 2026 — Monthly Update

Arthaya Equity Long-Short Fund runs a mixed short book — hedged positions paired with equity longs, plus 1.41% in naked directional shorts across 1 futures contract(s). These represent direct bets on specific stocks or indices falling in price.

Net long exposure of 102.1% reflects partial but not complete market hedging. Investors get reduced market beta versus a long-only fund, combined with potential alpha from both long and short stock selection. Options short book (0.00%) adds further positioning.
