Integrating a truly global approach

We envision investment management as being the skill that allows one to benefit from any market environment in any particular asset class. Since up and down phases exist in every market and since they can be tracked in real time, it does not make a lot of sense to invest focused strictly on particular products, asset classes or trend directions. By remaining flexible and objectively deciding what and when to buy and what and when to sell, we are aiming to invest your capital so that the return is maximized and the risk is diminished. Most of the investment vehicles available today are built so that the weights in the asset mix remain constant through the entire lifetime of your investment. There are countless stock mutual funds, bond funds, gold funds, etc. that invest unilaterally and unidirectionally in one particular market or group of markets. Few questions arise: is it equally correct and desirable to buy stocks both when they rise and fall? Even if one is investing for "the long run", why stick to long positions during corrections, including bear markets that could last many years? By the same token, is it as good to be long bonds when yields rise, as it is when they fall? Why keep most of your money, say, in stocks or bonds if the USDollar or the precious metals experience attractive swings and are performing better? Aren't you better off if you invest primarily in the outperforming markets in the direction they actually move?

Depending on your overall investment objectives, your asset mix shall be constructed to reflect the proper combination of liquidity and safety on one hand and yield enhancing opportunities on the other hand. Risk management is an essential part of any trading strategy because in the probabilistic game called "financial forecasting", low probability outcomes do occasionally play out. Disciplined and prudent investment is a critical component of the overall investment strategy. It ensures that large or total losses of capital are zero probability outcome for the investor's portfolio, regardless how correct and accurate the overall trading strategy is.
