AG Capital Investments, LLC
AG Capital's Discretionary Global Macro Program employs a discretionary investing approach: we look for opportunities where an imbalance between supply, demand, and inventories (where applicable) may lead to a large price move. Position hold times vary from 1 month to years; no day-trading, no algorithmic trading. Fundamental analysis is used to determine directional exposure, both long and short. Technical analysis is used to determine trade timing: enter and exit positions where extreme asymmetry exists from a risk/reward standpoint.
All positions are sized based off of proprietary risk management model developed and refined over 10 years. ATRMA (average true range moving average) is used as an initial input when calculating position sizes. Portfolio manager discretion and technical measures are used as final inputs into position sizing.
