Equity Fund of Funds / Multi Strategy
The FTC Gideon I invests in equity indices futures and individual equity funds. The investment universe consists of over 1000 registered equity funds. Two different trading systems, both trend-following in nature are applied.
In February 2009 a market neutral overlay was added to the fund. The goal is to create additional Alpha, especially in bear markets where the exposure of the FTC Gideon I to individual equity funds can drop to 0 percent while the overlay strategy due to its long/short approach can take advantage of trading opportunities.
Over time the combination of trend-following and the systematic overlay is expected to produce return in both up and down markets, with an emphasis on capital preservation.
