Investment Strategy

Our Megalio Vision traders constantly monitor, analyse and compare proprietary views with the market's implied prospective movement to identify optimal trading strategies. Futures are used to either accumulate a 'long' position in the markets (Where our traders believe the market direction is up) or a short position (where our traders believe the market direction is down). This assessment is based on many decades of hands-on experience by a core team of some of the most experienced professional market traders in the 'markets' today. Trading positions are calculated and sized so as to attempt to maximize investor returns whilst limiting, wherever possible, risk. It is always important to allow trading positions to 'breath' with the markets. Our traders know only too well that most traders are often caught between the inexorable position of 'greed' and 'fear' – not knowing whether to sell and crystallise losses before it is too late, or add to positions as losses are incurred so as to enjoy the benefits of a 'reversion to mean' or clear change in trend or direction. Such knowledge can only come through years of hands-on physical trading experience and this is often what makes a good trader into a great trader.

Risk Management

A2ML and Megalio Vision Fund’s risk management philosophy is to ensure that the Megalio Vision Fund trading portfolio cannot suffer unlimited losses. This is achieved by prohibiting the downside by applying strict stop losses on the trading portfolios wherever possible. In response to demand for a limited downside risk from potential investors, A2ML and Megalio Vision Fund intend to use active ‘Stop losses’ where necessary. Megalio Vision Fund’s philosophical approach underlying the decision making process for each trade has been developed and refined over many years Investors should note that volatility in trading is a feature of High Risk, High Return trading strategies and thus from time to time our portfolio(s) will see significant ‘draw-down’ before achieving profit targets. Draw-down can last for minutes, hours or even days and weeks. Investors should be aware of the risks and consult with their own professional and legal adviser if they are in any doubt as to the risks involved in futures trading.
