Why Managed Funds?
Self-trading in the forex currency
trading markets is at best a difficult
proposition. To be successful, a currency trader
must follow market movements 24 hours a day, six
days a week. Many Forex investors do not have
the time, experience or desire to trade with
this intensity themselves.
Managed forex trading accounts were
created for investors with risk capital who do
not necessarily want to trade on their own. In a
Forex Managed Account the positions belong to
your portfolio alone. Unlike mutual funds or
hedge funds which commingle your funds with
other investors, a Forex Managed Account is in
your name and all or part of your funds can be
redeemed within one day. There is no lock up
period.
The managed forex account only holds your
positions and allows you to follow a cost-basis
for each of the currencies in your account.
Based on your long-term goals, risk tolerance
and time horizon, you can select a Global Forex
currency professional with your trading outlook
to actively manage your portfolio. Whether
you're interested in a conservative or
aggressive
forex trade program, you will find the
trader who will suit your risk parameters.
Advantages of Managed Funds
Ability to Profit in Rising or Declining
Markets: Unlike equity and fixed income
managers, a currency hedge fund manager employs
both long and short positions with equal
facility. When
trading currencies, there is no
difference in profit potential between a long
and short position. Because of this
characteristic a currency portfolio is not
'biased long' but able to profit under any
market conditions.
Global
Diversification: The performance of
equity and fixed income investments in one
country is often highly correlated with the
performance of equity and fixed income
investments in other countries. As a result,
global portfolios composed solely of equity and
fixed income investments lack full
diversification, even if they are geographically
dispersed. Investing in currencies gives
investors access to markets beyond equity and
fixed income investments, providing more
complete diversification and a reduction in
portfolio risk.
Reduce Portfolio
Risk While Enhancing Returns: When
combined with an investor's existing portfolio
of equity and fixed income instruments, managed
forex accounts reduce the volatility and risk of
that portfolio while enhancing long-term
returns.
Risk
Control: Investing in currencies
incorporates disciplined risk control procedures
in order to limit risk and achieve the smoothest
possible growth in its investors' account value.
Leverage is an acceptable and useful tool when
used judiciously and with strict risk management
techniques. Investors in currencies are
therefore able to achieve a high rate of return
with a level of risk control that is not
possible with traditional "buy and hold"
investments. Although returns are far from
guaranteed, professional hedge fund managers
tend to out perform individual speculators by
their deployment of disciplined money management
techniques and a system trading approach.
Professional hedge funds also tend to use their
leverage more judiciously thus avoiding sudden
catastrophic losses.
Note of Caution
Some hedge funds may require a minimum lock
up period for funds of up to three months, and
the more established players may even require
more. Large publicized losses at some of the
world's biggest hedge funds are sometimes just
the tip of the iceberg. Many hedge funds which
trade risky OTC instruments suffer significant
losses from time to time and any investment in
these funds should be regarded as extremely
speculative in nature. In selecting a hedge fund
in which to invest we urge the use of common
sense. Just because currencies may seem exotic
or less familiar then traditional markets (i.e.
equities, futures, etc) does not mean that the
rules of finance and simple logic are suspended.
Any promises of fantastic and consistent monthly
gains of 15% or more, for example, are wildly
exaggerated and would never be claimed by a
legitimate investment manager. Although some
traders do manage to produce some amazing
short-term gains the risks taken to produce
these gains are enormous and generally mean that
even the best-intentioned manager who stretches
his leverage beyond prudence is bound to
eventually take losses of varying degree.
