Maximum Allocation

Our model continuously tracks every stock in our basket and allocates a maximum share per stock, depending on the product. If a stock reaches the threshold the position is trimmed, and the available allocation redistributed.

Ongoing Monitoring

We monitor algorithmically our universe with internal-coded scripts to capture any change in a company’s fundamentals which should lead to reducing or exiting a position. Every trade is approved and manually entered by our portfolio management team. Algorithms help us take our decisions, but we have the last word.

Risk Thesis
