Marat Kasparov is partnering with a Dubai based asset manager to provide a high frequency trading, long/short strategy to provide alpha returns to professional investors who meet the suitability requirements.
Amicorp Capital, a DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) based entity that is regulated by the DFSA (Dubai Financial Services Authority) will be the Investment Manager and Marat Kasparov will be the Portfolio Manager who will be responsible for both the trading strategy, as well as the execution of positions.
The strategy will be securitised in the form of an AMC (Actively Managed Certificate) meaning that clients will be able to subscribe to the NAV using the note´s Swiss based ISIN through their trading account. The AMC is being created and managed by a Luxembourg based entity that will securitise the underlying assets, enabling the purchase and sale of this trading instrument by the end client. It will be responsible for all activities, including overseeing client subscription and redemptions on a delivery vs payment basis.
The AMC will have a daily NAV. Subscriptions will be daily and redemptions will be monthly.
The underlying assets will be blue chips stocks from the US and Europe (mainly US). It will also trade commodities, FX and futures.
The objective of the note is to consistently outperform the benchmark (S&P 500) no matter the macroeconomic conditions. It will use smart beta trading techniques and ensure that drawdown is capped in order to keep the standard deviation of returns within the defined parameters of the strategy.
