Quantmetrics\u2019 investment strategy will be a short-term CTA (Commodity Trading Advisors) program
\ninvested in all asset classes that seeks to combine behavioural insights with quantitative analysis to
\ncapture alpha. It aims to exploit small and temporary price discrepancies in financial markets in the
\nUS, Europe and Asia by pursuing a short-term systematic trading of futures and spot FX positions.<\/p>\n

In a context where the environment for CTAs has significantly improved in 2014, this strategy could
\nappear as a strong diversifier to deliver positive and uncorrelated returns to investors.<\/quote><\/p>\n

James Fowler,
\nFounder of Quantmetrics, commented: \u201cWith the current environment, institutional investors have
\ndifficulties to source opportunities that can offer sustainable performance. Our strategies have been
\ndeveloped to generate returns across different market environments. This is especially true during
\nvolatility peaks, where we believe our niche strategies can exploit short term opportunities in highly
\nliquid futures. We are pleased that Lyxor has chosen to partner with Quantmetrics, and we expect
\ninstitutional investors\u2019 portfolios to benefit from our strategy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

With over 80 managers running a diverse range of alternative strategies, Lyxor\u2019s Managed Account
\nPlatform gives access to a broad universe of best-in-class talent. Superior capabilities in hedge fund
\nselection, portfolio construction and risk management, combined with a high level of customization in
\nterms of transparency or liquidity provide value to investors and address their key decision criteria. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
