This blog has been created to discuss investment managers views on various asset classes, market trends and generate investment ideas which are implemented according to in-house trading strategy.

We operate in many markets, and generally invest our equity in securities (ETFs, Equities and Bonds), but use leverage (Derivatives) to speculate in commodity, stock index, currency and interest rate futures. We use our own quantitative models, various discretionary approaches as well as top investment firms research to determine the most appropriate asset allocation.

Our risk management techniques allows us to take on some degree of leverage (although lesser than hedge fund industry average) without significantly increasing overall risk profile. Exposure we take in various markets and asset classes is serving to counterbalance overall portfolio.
