Composition

Summary

Auspice is an innovative alternative asset manager that focuses on applying rules-based investment strategies across a broad range of financial and commodity markets. Auspice offers liquid alternative and commodity strategies that provide the benefits of active management and the efficiency of indexing. By being rules-based, Auspice offers products with greater transparency, liquidity, and cost effectiveness via multiple delivery mechanisms (Hedge Funds, ETFs, Indexes, and bespoke products). Auspice works with a wide range of clients and develops solutions to improve their portfolio or product suite. Our strategies are available to institutions, financial professionals and high net worth individual investors as well as retail investors through the Auspice brand as well as sub-advisory and licensing arrangements. In 2015, Auspice became an ETF manufacturer in Canada with the launch of the innovative Canadian Crude Oil Index ETF (CCX on TSX).

Investment Strategy

Auspice Diversified is our flagship strategy. It represents the culmination of the ongoing research and experience at Auspice. It is our most evolving and unconstrained rules based strategy. Auspice Diversified is a multi-strategy liquid alternative strategy that invests in a broad spectrum of global financial and commodity markets. Using a disciplined rules-based investment process, and drawing from the Auspice eBeta™ Building Blocks, the strategy aims to capture dominant trends long and short, agnostic to market direction and popular consensus. Risk management and capital allocation are non-discretionary and based on rigorous drawdown and scenario analysis with the primary objective to preserve capital.

Risk Management

Risk is managed on a portfolio, sector, and commodity basis and this includes position re-sizing based on changing proprietary risk conditions in the market. Risk is normalized such that component and sector risks are balanced across the portfolio. Every step possible is taken to avoid the pitfall of over-optimization. System parameters are either self-adapting or are chosen through optimization on a portfolio level to maximize robustness. Research is conducted to clearly understand any risk that could derail the system. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding risk on a portfolio level. Preserving capital is the backbone of the approach.
