Please see the "Structured Markets Inc." listing for client trading results, which started in March of 2012.Investment StrategyStructured Markets Inc. ("SMI") is an emerging CTA owned and operated by Nigel Bahadur. The trading Program manages approximately 85% of the assets in the portfolio using a multi-system, short-term, diversified approach. A top-down risk management approach controls risk by allocating trading exposure to a variety of systematic, short term trading systems. Approximately 25% of all trades are day trades, 50% are held 2-5 days, 10% 5-10 days. Prior to forming Structured Markets Inc., Nigel Bahadur worked for seven years at the Granat Fund, managed by Linda Raschke. There he developed automated strategies, researched trading concepts and developed custom technology. Client trading started in March 2012.Risk ManagementThe manager utilizes a top-down plan to manage risk. The model is designed to allocate market exposure to several (15) different systems that diversify the Program by markets, system type and time frames. New systems are constantly being researched and tested for inclusion in the Program. Current systems include: (short term) trend following, pattern recognition, mean reversion and counter trend. Current research is focused on additional counter trend and market neutral systems and looking for earlier entry points in trend trades. Opportunities in exchange traded spreads, non-dollar currency crosses, and additional non US markets are also being researched. The advisor believes risk adjusted rates of return will improve as new, non-correlated systems are added. The discretionary trading component gives the Program exposure to time frames not covered by systematic trading, which adds further balance to the portfolio.
