"It always seems impossible until it's done"
- Nelson Mandela
How we see the world
Sometimes problems occur where they are least expected, and often we have no power to prevent them. However, fortune favors the prepared minds – we are ready for changes and able to control them and to improve ourselves. The speed of our reaction is a key for our success.
The principles of fast adaptation, constant learning and continuous improvement are built into our quantitative investment strategy.

Warning: “Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. All investments contain risk and may lose value. Investing in foreign denominated and/or domiciled securities may involve heightened risk due to currency fluctuations. Currency rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and may reduce the returns of a portfolio. Derivatives may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Investing in derivatives could lose more than the amount invested. Diversification does not ensure against loss. There is no guarantee that these investment strategies will work under all market conditions and each investor should evaluate their ability to invest for a long-term especially during periods of flat market or downturn in the market.”
