Investment Objectives
Atorus ("the fund") is a global multi-strategy fund
with a systematic bias. The Fund's objective is to
achieve absolute average returns of 15.25% per
annum with unlevered-drawdowns not to exceed
10%, with a volatility target of 10.15% and a Profit
Factor of 2.5X with a win ratio of 40%.
Atorus employs a risk-conscious and proprietary
dynamic trading methodology that aims to minimize
downside volatility and generate consistent
uncorrelated returns in both up and down markets,
with low portfolio turnover. The managers diversify
the portfolio with 500+ positions across two main
asset classes; global macro instruments (G20 rates,
indices, FX and commodities) and G20-listed
equities. The Fund's investment approach combines
three discrete modules; portfolio construction,
directional bias and timing, and risk management.
The portfolio is constructed for reasons of neutrality,
volatility, and low long-term correlation which
collectively mitigate downside volatility. The
directional bias of individual positions is the
foundation of the strategy. Free from subjective
bias, Atorus makes proprietary calculations of
changes in realized volatility and price ranges to
dynamically alter the timing of entry and exit for
positions. This enables Atorus to quickly react on the
directionality of individual positions, exploit them,
and operate regardless of a high or low volatility
environment. Correlation determines the Fund's
investment opportunities, not the individual
direction of any position. The last stage of the
investment process is robust risk control, with
particular focus on risk adjusted position sizing, hold
periods, leverage, and entry/exit points.
Atorus is currently pre-launch, targeting an initial
capital raise of $100m for a launch date of Q2 2014.
