Investment Strategy

The QMS Financials-Only Global Macro strategy is a quantitative, systematic, long-short investment program, well diversified across asset classes, conceptual investing themes, modeling approaches, and trading time horizons. The strategy trades in highly liquid global futures and forwards, including currencies, sovereign rates/bonds, and equity indices. QMS believes substantial value is recognized by combining lower frequency fundamental economic views with higher frequency trades driven by market-based signals. A fundamental understanding of the economic environment most suitable for various models facilitates systematic tactical allocation among the styles of investing employed. Strict risk management is embedded in the portfolio optimization process and is managed at the individual model level, the thematic level, the asset class level, and the portfolio level. The strategy targets an annualized volatility of 15%, based on daily gross returns.
