OUR STRATEGY
UGC GLOBAL ALPHA FUND STRATEGY
The primary strategy is built around intra-day, multi-day and multi-week short term trading strategies. This approach to trading focuses on exploiting short term, but more frequent, price movements in stocks. The Investment Manager will typically deploy a highly concentrated exposure to a very select number of positions at any one time.
The second strategy is a total return focused, concentrated, capital growth biased investment approach, focused on medium to long term investments in largely growth focused listed shares across the world’s major financial markets. This strategy is built around a strategic asset allocation and strategy allocation framework which provides the Investment Manager with the flexibility to adjust its portfolio setting at short notice. The Investment Manager will be aiming to maintain a broad strategic target allocation of approximately 5% Cash, 20% Tactical Asset Allocation (ETF’s, Indexes, Commodities, Currencies etc.) and a 75% Direct Stock Allocation.
The Investment Manager will deploy leverage across both the trading and investment portfolios within the Fund by utilising a range of instruments including margin loans, derivatives and leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs) to enhance the returns of the portfolio, but will also utilise such instruments in strategies such as short selling and hedging with a view to protecting the portfolio against meaningful downside movements in unfavourable market conditions. The Investment Manager may, on certain occasions, also position the Fund in a net short position to take advantage of markets, that it views, as being susceptible to downside market movements.
