CIG’s overall investment objective is to achieve asset appreciation
over an intermediate to long-term investment horizon.
Strategies
CIG employs technical trading strategies which are directional in
nature. In some cases, arbitrage, volatility and relative value are also
used. Fundamental analysis is also used to examine economic
relationships, political events and the expectations of the financial
market.
Markets
CIG executes trades solely in the twenty-four hour spot market
through a forex dealer using only the world's most liquid currencies, such as
the euro (EUR/USD), the Japanese yen (USD/JPY), the Swiss franc (USD/CHF),
the British pound (GPB/USD), the Canadian dollar (USD/CAD) and the
Australian dollar (AUD/USD) are traded. However, from time to time less
liquid currencies, such as the New Zealand dollar may be traded.
The considerable network of contacts in the interbank foreign
exchange market is one of the elements that separate CIG from other
trading advisors. CIG’s access to information helps in the
interpretation of economic and political influences on the financial
markets. It is these interpretations that form the basis for CIG’s
trading ideas.
Risk exposure
Our success depends largely on our ability to anticipate market
movements and optimize returns while minimizing risk. We want to limit
our trade ideas to those that have a high probability of success and fit
within our predetermined levels of risk.
Risk exposure is monitored continuously in real time. We pay careful
attention to our leverage multiples, the asymmetry of risk and reward,
and our exposure to event risk.
Time Horizon
Our time horizon varies from less than one hour to as much as 24
hours. Given the technical nature of our trading, it’s unlikely that any
trade would be held for more than 24 hours.
