The Advantage of a Managed Account with ICMMThe advantages of a Managed Account as a component of an investor's overall investment portfolio.
Ability to Profit in Rising or Declining Markets
The performance of a currency portfolio has historically been non-correlated with that of traditional equity and fixed income investments. Unlike equity and fixed income managers, a currency hedge fund manager employs both long and short positions in its currency portfolio to profit under ANY market conditions.
Global Diversification
The performance of equity and fixed income investments in one country is often highly correlated to 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 International Markets 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, the Global Markets Program reduces the volatility and risk of that portfolio while enhancing long-term returns.
Risk Control
Investing in International Capital Markets incorporates disciplined risk control procedures in order to limit risk and achieve the smoothest possible growth in its investors' account value. Leverage is used with strict money management methodology and stop-loss orders are always in place. 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.
