LSA has been utilizing the Hatteras Long/Short Debt fund since June of 2013.  The fund was targeted as a hedge against rising interest rates.  The reversal of the rates in 2014 caused a difficult third quarter for Hatteras and the purpose of this call was to address the lagging performance we have seen since July of 2014.
