  • Trading Strategy: The objective of the World Select Program is to deliver high absolute returns in rising or falling markets through systematic long-term positioning in managed futures. The program seeks to dynamically construct long-short portfolios that efficiently allocate risk across 6 distinct sectors - equities, fixed income, currencies, energies, metals, and agricultural markets. The program invests in over 26 futures markets listed on regulated exchanges around the world and takes a long-term approach to capturing momentum by holding positions, on average, for 180 days. This long-term perspective reduces the likelihood of being shaken out of the market by short-term price fluctuations. Portfolio selection is done systematically and position evaluation criteria include absolute and relative momentum, market volatility and correlations, term structure based signals, and relative market/sector valuations.

    Accounting Notes: When calculating the yearly rate of return the Advisor resets the nominal value at the beginning of each month and as a result the yearly return is computed as an addition of all months and is not compounded. As of June 1, 2020 performance in the World Select program is based on a proprietary account held by the advisor. Performance is formulated using a 1% management fee and a 20% incentive fee. No material differences arise between such performance and the performance of the offered trading program.
