This week our portfolio recorded a 0.5% loss, which means it underperformed the benchmark. As far as we can understand, in the absence of main events or news one would expect the assets of the portfolio to have a rather regular performance. Iridium Communications (IRDM) had a huge fall and is the major responsible for our loss. The company was upgraded in the beginning of the week and a couple of good news was released later. As we report our performance on Thursday we now know that the stock amended on Friday with a 3% gain. We are aware that a less diversified portfolio is exposed to higher volatility. Nevertheless, Sharp Ratio on Value portfolio is higher than the benchmarks. Page 2/2
