Why this strategy

Diversification beyond digital assets

FX and commodities markets provide return drivers that are distinct from digital asset strategies, supporting portfolio diversification.

Systematic, model-driven

Positioning is governed by quantitative models and predefined rules rather than discretionary views.

AI & machine learning research

Signal development and validation apply AI and machine learning techniques within a defined risk and governance framework.

Designed for liquidity

The strategy targets liquid FX and commodities markets, expressed through CFD instruments.

Investment approach

Market universe

The strategy trades a selected universe of liquid foreign exchange pairs and commodities markets, chosen for liquidity and suitability for systematic implementation.

Systematic model framework

Quantitative models generate signals from market data; the system translates these into CFD positions sized and managed according to predefined rules.

AI and machine learning research

Research applies AI and machine learning techniques to model development and validation, operating within a defined risk and governance framework with human oversight.

CFD-based strategy

This strategy is implemented through Contracts for Difference (CFDs). CFDs are leveraged derivatives that carry significant risk, including losses that may exceed the initial margin. This strategy does not involve direct ownership of the underlying assets.

Risk management

  • Predefined position sizing and exposure limits across markets
  • Systematic risk-reduction rules embedded in the models
  • Monitoring of leverage, drawdown and volatility
  • Defined governance and oversight of model behaviour

Risk considerations

  • The strategy is implemented through CFDs. CFDs are leveraged derivatives and can involve significant risk, including losses that may exceed the initial margin.
  • Foreign exchange and commodities markets can be volatile and subject to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.
  • Systematic models may underperform or fail to achieve the strategy's objective.
  • Investors may lose part or all of their capital. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Liquidity & dealing

The strategy is designed as a liquid systematic strategy. Specific dealing and liquidity terms are set out in the offering documentation, available to eligible investors on request.

Investor profile

  • Professional and qualified investors seeking liquid, systematic alternative exposure
  • Allocators diversifying beyond digital assets and traditional long-only holdings
  • Family offices and institutions seeking model-driven FX and commodities strategies
