The following portfolio performance report for AllBlue Limited has been provided

REPORT BY BLUECREST ON ALLBLUE LIMITED
AllBlue recovered in June after a negative performance in May. The month started
with the markets remaining nervous over the European sovereign debt crisis.
Fears that US and global growth might be faltering then took hold which led to
persistent volatility in the risky asset classes.
This month's performance was once again driven by the returns of BlueCrest
Capital International, and within that fund it was the Rates desk that
contributed the majority of the returns . The trades that gave the largest
contributions were conditional steepeners within EUR, where we saw both a
steepening of the forward curve and also some normalisation of the long-dated
volatility. The Fixed Income Relative Value desk also posted a positive return
with their USD relative value trading being the main contributor, whilst their
volatility positions made small losses. The Equity Derivatives desk within the
fund saw further losses from some of its dispersion trades.
The Emerging Market Fund's estimated performance of 46bp was mostly driven by
local currency long positions. Given the European situation is still a major
market risk, many of our EM currency positions were fully or partly hedged
against the EUR, resulting in some of the gains being offset by the hedges as
the EUR rallied slightly. Multi Strategy Credit finished the month down an
estimated 79bp; this was driven in a large part by the negative impact of the
correlation strategy, with lower than expected recoveries from Ambac
post-restructuring. Within Mercantile, whose estimated performance was 88bp,
the best performing sub-strategy was single-name credits where the basis which
had widened in May and narrowed back in June, particularly in Ukraine and
Russia.
Looking at the systematic strategies we saw positive performance from BlueTrend,
which made profit in the fixed income sectors (bonds and short rates) that more
than offset the losses within equities and energies. BlueTrend steadily started
redeploying risk after its large risk reduction in May; the margin to equity
rose from 7.6% to 11.6% over the month.
BlueMatrix found June to be a more difficult month, as falling levels of
volatility in the equity markets provided a less fertile ground for isolating
reversion opportunities. The fund finished down 1.39%. BlueCube on the other
hand performed well with the majority of the returns coming from the mean
reversion strategy, and with the capital dynamics also producing a solid
contribution. The strategy continues to revolve out of the Value sub-strategy
which now holds the lowest weighting within the fund.
The latest allocation changes within AllBlue see us decreasing our allocation to
BlueCrest Capital International and increasing allocations to Multi Strategy
Credit and Emerging Markets as the new portfolio managers are creating more
trading opportunities within these funds.
