Summary

BE REALISTIC: PLAN FOR A MIRACLE An Alternative Asset Manager Hallenborg & Sandström Fund Management AB (HASAFUMA.com) is an alternative wealth management company specializing in quant trading, trend following trading with global financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, and indices. Founded in 2011 by Thomas Sandström and Henrik Hallenborg HASAFUMA addresses well-informed, risk-conscious investors. HASAFUMAs investment models are active in more than 50 international futures markets. To handle the large trading volumes the trading process is mainly computerized. The systems track the markets 24 hours to determine opportunities. By employing sophisticated systematic models based on algorithms rather than a fund managers belief about the future movements of the markets, we seek to profit from a statistically proven edge. By charting the actions of the market participants, detecting the psychology of the crowd, we seek to find situation where similar patterns tend to repeat themselves and thus gives us an edge to place our calculated “bets” in favorable situations. The trading models has been developed by statistical analysis of historical data of the futures markets. In applying the strategies to real trading a key aspect of the operation is the system’s ability to manage risk. The level of risk varies in HASAFUMAs programs and thus gives each investor the possibility to choose his own comfortable level. In general, the more risk, the higher is the possible return.

Investment Strategy

Gourishankar – Systematic Global Macro Multi-asset Absolute return Gourishankar is a mixture of all programs currently offered by HASAFUMA and therefore a multi strategy that combines long and short term trends and strategies to smooth out the equity curve. The model invests in uncorrelated programs like La Cucaracha, Hedgehog, Micro Macro and FX Momentum. By using different strategies in conjunction on each market, the drawdown periods can be limited to generate risk-adjusted return. The model has no correlation with any indices; the outcome depends entirely on the manager’s ability to take advantage of uptrends and downtrends in commodities, currencies and equities. An investment in Gourishankar is uncorrelated to the general markets and HASAFUMAs other programs. It could be a part in a diversified portfolio or a standalone investment for retirement. The total risk in Gourishankar could be considered lower than any of the individual programs offered by HASAFUMA.
