MONTHLY PERFORMANCE REVIEW FOR MARCH 2015

"Strong returns despite quieter markets"

BlueCrest AllBlue Fund Limited (BCAB) rose by a further 1.0% in March which brings the year to date return to 2.6% (Sterling Class NAV). The rolling 12 month return was 7.7%. Once again, volatility remains low and stable at 1.8%.

The month's strong returns came despite quieter market conditions. Economic data surprised somewhat to the upside in Europe in contrast to the weaker, weather impacted data from the US. However, inflation everywhere was soft. Markets focused mostly on the continued activity of central banks, as the ECB implemented QE, rate cuts continued worldwide and the US FOMC omitted the little word "patient" from its guidance, causing choppy conditions in US asset markets and the dollar.

"Both equity funds produced strong gains, despite weaker equity markets"

Five of the seven strategies produced positive returns in March, with the detractors being BlueCrest Capital International and BlueCrest Emerging Markets, although they produced only small losses. Once again, BlueCrest Multi Strategy Credit performed well and both equity funds produced strong gains, despite generally weaker equity markets across the globe.

The allocation to BlueCrest Capital International has been progressively reduced for some time and was further reduced by 1.7% for April, bringing the allocation down to 10%, its lowest in AllBlue's history. The fund lost 0.7% in March and conditions remain challenging for the strategy. Good gains were made in North America, particularly in relative value and tactical trading, but were offset by reversals in Europe where curve steepening trades registered losses. These trades are held with some conviction, however, as BlueCrest believe that 30 year rates are substantially disconnected from economic fundamentals. Volatility trading was profitable once again in March as the breaking of the "zero bound" in European interest rates triggered good opportunities.

Both BlueCrest Equity Strategies Fund (up by 2.3% on the month) and BlueCrest Quantitative Equity (up by 1.2%) saw positive performance across all regions. Equity Strategies performed particularly strongly across Europe and North America with long/short trading in Europe providing rich opportunities. Quantitative Strategies also saw all the signal sets producing gains. As always, net exposure was tightly bounded around zero and the fund entered April long the consumer discretionary and short the energy sectors. The allocation committee increased exposure to BlueCrest Quantitative Equity by a further 0.5% for April, bringing the allocation to 26%, the largest current holding in AllBlue.

BlueTrend's allocation was also increased, by 1.2%, to 11%, with systematic strategies now representing approximately 37% of AllBlue. Mercantile was reduced by 1% to 8%.

"An investor call will be held on 23rd April"

The shares in the Company have seen consistent buying at around the 5% discount level and so the buyback programme has been relatively quiet during the month.

An investor call will be held on 23rd April which will be hosted by Mike Platt, CIO of BlueCrest Capital Management, and Simon Dannatt, member of the AllBlue Allocation Committee. This is open to eligible investors only and details can be found in the Company's announcement of 17th April.
