Aristides Fund LP was up 1.03% for June, while Aristides Fund QP was up 1.01%. So far this year, the two funds are up 5.11% and 5.22%, respectively. The fund’s cryptocurrency arbitrage position performed well in June after a difficult May, while its shorts collectively took a significant bite out of its returns for the month. Tesla and Tilray especially hurt Aristides’ short portfolio after both positions put up strong returns for May.
