Agility Trading Strategy

Agility Trading Strategy QEP only

Investment Strategy

The Agility Trading Strategy seeks to  provide investors with returns similar to the performance of the S&P 500 Index during rallying market periods, and augment portfolio returns with certain alternative investment futures trading strategies that are intended to outperform during periods of volatility, risk-off and declining markets. Agility achieves this investment objective by: (i) maintaining a long equity futures position that is constructed to attempt to yield broad-based market returns similar to the performance of the S&P 500 Index; and (ii) adopting a systematic research-driven approach to trading futures contracts in order to generate additional negative and non-correlated portfolio returns.

The complimentary  strategies offer negative correlation, at key times, which can offset losses during painful selloffs while still participating in equity market upside.

Qualified investors can participate through separately managed accounts or in the Agility Trading Fund.
