- By investing in markets around the globe daily, we seek to exploit opportunities in global currency, interest rate, equity and commodity markets and their related derivatives.
Risk management is a key aspect of this. Investment opportunities are evaluated and rated on a thematic and an individual basis to determine appropriate risk-reward and capital allocations.
The funds apply an investment process based on macroeconomic fundamental, market momentum and technical analysis to identify strategies offering a favorable risk-return profile.
The funds’ investment strategies are premised on the belief that imbalances in various financial markets are created from time to time by the influence of economic, political and capital flow factors. Directional and relative value strategies are applied to exploit these conditions. The funds have the flexibility to allocate capital dynamically across a wide range of global strategies, markets and instruments as opportunities change, and are designed to take advantage of a wide variety of sources of market, economic and pricing data to generate trading ideas.
