Program Description: TARO® Diversified is an algorithmic and systematic investment strategy which aims to exploit market inefficiencies. The strategy is the result of years of quantitative research and market experience. TARO® Diversified uses unique techniques developed by FALGOM AG which are applied to futures in different asset classes. Although each of these markets has its own characteristics the algorithm is identical for each financial instrument. Furthermore, both long and short positions are entered by exactly the same logic, which turns TARO® Diversified in combination with its countertrend approach into a genuinely unbiased investment strategy. The return profile generated by TARO® Diversified is divergent towards traditional benchmark indices as well as alternative benchmarks. The strategy has no or a very low correlation towards these benchmarks which reduces portfolio risk in almost any institutional portfolio. Additionally, TARO® Diversified had the highest returns during periods when financial markets were under stress and therefore has the potential to minimize portfolio drawdowns.
