Danske Invest Hedge Mortgage Arbitrage Class A provided a 0.29% return in September. Year
to date, the sub-fund provided a return of 1.35%.
At its September 4th meeting, the ECB, somewhat surprisingly, chose to cut interest rates by
10 bp. The Danish central bank followed suit, lowering its deposit rate by 10 bp. The rate cut
by the Danish central bank was not expected by the market and sparked a drop in short-term
yields. In addition to the rate cut, the ECB announced a programme to buy a wide range of
European bonds with a view to reviving credit growth in Europe. These measures led to higher
long-term yields as the fixed income market began to price in higher real-economic growth and
higher inflation.
Due to its implicit exposure towards a steeper yield curve, the sub-fund benefited from the
decline at the short end of the yield curve. The decline at the short end in particular contributed
positively to this month’s return as, to a larger extent than the market, we had been expecting
the Danish central bank to cut rates.
The leverage of the sub-fund is currently at approx. 75% of its maximum allowed level.

The Fund is a relative value fund and aims to reduce market risk. Thus, the return should not
depend on whether interest rates rise or fall. The main component of the return should therefore depend solely on the trend in the pricing of mortgage credit bonds relative to government
bonds (or the pricing between mortgage credit bonds).
08-OCT-14 - http://www.uk.danskehedge.com - 1273_N
The Fund’s major value creation will be through investments in Danish mortgage bonds. This
will include exploiting the yield spread between government and mortgage credit bonds – but
also exploiting opportunities among mortgage credit bonds and between mortgage credit bonds
and the swap market. Furthermore, differences in the spread in volatility between the government and mortgage credit bond markets will be a source of value.
The Fund is designed for investors who have the necessary experience and knowledge to understand the risk involved with hedge funds, and is only suitable for investors with the appropriate
risk profile and time horizon, together with an investment strategy that includes hedge funds.
