 High Frequency         Premium Alpha II         GIM Forex Program

Program Description

GIM Forex Program is a trend following, globally diversified, systematic Spot Forex managed account program that invests into a spectrum of 25 currency pairs.

Investment Objective
 
The goal of the Advisor’s Trading Program is to trade up to 25 global currency pairs in order to achieve an above average absolute return compared to classic asset classes like stock and bond investments. The methodology employed is based on a proprietary array of technical indicators, which give insight into market price action, trends, and market sentiment, as well as important support and resistance levels. In addition, mathematically calculated buy and sell resistance points are used to guide trade entry and trade exit. These methods are applied to multiple time frames to determine the direction and degree of trend at all levels through the usage of chart pattern recognition systems. Through market research, specific rules have been developed and applied to determine levels of entry for each position. The results of the technical and quantitative analysis form a mechanical trading model.
 
Risk Management
 

We believe that an investment strategy can only be as successful as the discipline of the manager to adhere to its requirements in the face of market adversity.

Positive management of risk is at the heart of GIM´s approach. Strong emphasis is placed on market analysis and trading, alongside fundamental analysis.

As a general rule CAIM applies 15 – 30 % margin to equity ratio.
