|
|
This BVI-registered trading firm (foreign exchange) is in the process of collecting clients funds and establishing its first-year track record. The success of its trading technique, compounded by strict loss management policies, has rewarded it with a monthly double-digit performance since inception.
|
|
|
Individual Client accounts are opened with world-class brokers RefCo/ACM in Switzerland and or Gain Capital in the U.S., and a limited Power of Attorney to trade on their behalf, is given to the firm by the client.
. |
|
|
The manager's own money is at play on each trade. Client funds are committed on an 'initial invested equity' pro-rata basis, and via a pre-trade-defined allocation key, thus ensuring absolute fairness with regard to share of P&L on each trade.
|
|
|
The manager has 15 years experience in Finance and Markets, and has worked with such institutions as, notably, the Paris Bourse, Caisse des Depots et Consignations, SocGen-Crosby, Credit Suisse First Boston, where he has developed a keen knowledge of price formation mechanisms across a broad range of products & asset classes.

|
| FUND STRATEGY-
Total Capital target US$1-5 Million by 4Q2005
|
|
|
The manager essentially engages in very short-term high-leverage momentum-based trading in the spot FX market. No positions are ever left unmonitored. No overnight positions.
|
|
|
The strategy is non-discretionary and uses clearly defined 'stop-losses' and profit targets upon entering the market.
|
|
|
The program has an absolute return focus and exhibits no or accidental if any correlation to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds. |
|
|
The amount of leverage used is guided by the the manager's internal risk management rules, which aim to limit potential loss on each trade to 6% of total equity. Historically however, max losses have been in the 0.5-1% range only.
|
|
|
The manager has key clearing relationships with RefCo/ACM and Gain Capital. Target Capital is US$50-100Million.
