The Opportunities Program is an absolute return, 100% discretionary Global Macro strategy that utilizes fundamental, technical, and sentiment analysis to generate uncorrelated, above average risk-adjusted returns.
The Opportunities Program trades futures and options on futures in various markets such as precious metals, energy, fx, and global indices by using a combination of futures and options contracts. Trading will only take place on US exchanges. Forward contracts will not be used. This program may be highly leveraged at times. Up to 50% of clients’ money may be invested in margin with an average margin to equity ratio of 20%. The program takes long, short, and spread positions depending on the situation and scenario analysis, as well as writing (selling) of naked and covered options. At times, the program may buy options. The strategy may be concentrated in one or several instruments at any given time based on the managers discretion. The Methodology of Trading is based on understanding underlying fundamental drivers as well as conducting technical, price action and market/sentiment analysis.
There are several ways that risk is managed. First, idiosyncratic risk is managed by the investment thesis/research and each investment has a "hard stop" at which price we consider prudent to exit the market. Portfolio risk is managed through the use of low margin-to-equity ratio and low correlation between investment ideas. Finally, market risk is managed through the understanding of market dynamics and short/medium term drivers, and their affect on the composition of the portfolio through scenario analysis.
