Lafayette, Louisiana, March 23, 2021 – The biblically responsible Issachar Fund celebrated seven years of trading on February 28th, 2021. Since the launch in 2014, the Issachar Fund returned 5.72% annualized (as of 2/28/2021), outperforming its benchmark, the IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Index, which returned 3.33% over the same time period. This outperformance of 2.39% was achieved with a 3.62% lower maximum drawdown than the benchmark, helping to buffer investors from stock market volatility and declines (see below for complete list of returns).
“Praise the Lord for these past seven years,” commented Dexter Lyons, portfolio manager of the Issachar Fund. “Being able to serve faith-based investors with this distinctive hedge-fund style risk management in a mutual fund wrapper is a blessing and I believe the best is yet to come.”
