Principal(s): Dejan Trajkovski
Strategy: Systematic / Quantitative / G10 Currencies
Request Disclosure Document
Investment Restrictions: Non-US Investors Only++
The strategy exploits the asymmetry of percentage increases and decreases of price returns. For example, if the NZDCHF price return is positive, the CHFNZD return will be negative, but the sum of these two returns will always be positive, although denominated in different currencies. The strategy trades all currency crosses between 9 base currencies, accumulates returns in base currencies and periodically converts them into USD. Based on positions of all components (a total of 72 currency crosses), positions are consolidated into the base 9 currencies against the US Dollar. The resulting positions are then implemented in the market. The trading strategy is always in the market, but portfolio weights are adjusted daily.
Risk control is achieved through a variety of means which in most market conditions should minimize drawdowns. The first is portfolio construction and diversification; second is portfolio concentration control through position size limitation according to account size (the position size limit for each currency is currently 100% of NAV); and third is a catastrophic stop based on money management rules (can be selected by the investor).
