Summary

The Kaiser Global Diversified Program was founded in 1998. The investment approach is short-term, 100% systematic, multi-strategy and multi-asset approach utilizing advanced computer modelling.

Investment Strategy

The principle of the investment thesis is using pattern recognition to make short-term directional trades. The concepts are derived from discretionary technical trading decisions based on patterns in price action. Examples of a trading concept include a low volatility breakout, mean reversion to a trend or fading an extended move. Then look to systematize and quantitatively test our intuitive discretionary understanding of markets. The market conditions are defined through indicators, which are used to create the entry and exit criteria for a model. Fundamental to Kaiser Trading Group’s research philosophy is the concept of market regimes. They provide a multi-resolution understanding of the underlying time series in order to provide specific context when taking trades, and are defined across multiple time resolutions to indicate whether a market is directional or corrective in nature.

Risk Management

Each concept is then thoroughly back-tested over an extended period of time to gauge robustness across markets and over varying conditions. A model is the product of a concept, defined through a unique combination of entry and exit rules. All models aim to provide consistent returns across all markets, time series and market conditions. The program is then made up of a set of models, markets and risk allocation methodology. The Program is not built around the concept of net long or short positions in a market. It applies each model independently over all markets. Although this may result in different models taking opposing trades in the same market, the idea is that over time, models with low correlation together provide superior risk-adjusted returns. For instance, the program could have a long position in a longer term trend model and enter a short position in a shorter-term countertrend model. The focus is on controlling drawdown risk rather than targeting a certain level of volatility in returns.
