Absolute Return Trust Fund

The primary objective of the Absolute Return Trust Fund—a collective investment Fund—is to protect capital, as well as to obtain consistent results, superior to traditional investments.

By targeting an “absolute” annual performance of 8% to 10%, the Fund surpasses, through its medium-term results, most monetary bond, stock or real estate investment funds.

The performance of the Absolute Return Trust Fund are obtained through the intensive use of “alternate management” through the know-how, competence, and expertise of talented analysts in Europe and North America.

The Fund is structured as a fund of funds; a fund made up of diversified and complementary sub-funds invested solely on liquid and collective management markets regulated by OECD member countries. This multi-management brings stability to the Fund and its high growth potential independently from market trends.

The Fund simultaneously uses many of the alternate techniques available such as insurance policies, arbitration on convertibles, raw materials, currency markets, managed futures and options, long/short equities, macro and global analysis, mortgage-backed securities, arbitration on mergers and acquisition, parallel markets, and the financial tools of guaranteed capital and coupons.

The intensive use of these strategies, which are complementary and uncorrelated, insures the preservation of capital. The Fund is positioned to benefit from both downward and upward market trends and offers monthly liquidity. Its management is globally not connected to the variations of traditional markets (monetary, stocks and bonds).

Contrary to high minimum investment usually required for alternate management, the Fund is open to a large number of investors, thereby not limiting this lucrative management to institutional investors only.

Why invest in the Absolute Return Trust Fund?

Because the Fund uses alternate strategies that have the advantage of not being connected to traditional stock and bonds market, and can benefit for example from a falling market.

The results of this type of management, which uses “derived” products, have been verified over time, notably during the drop of stock prices in March 2000.

The fund consistently employs some 15 techniques, such as: arbitration on convertibles and exchange rates, managed futures and options, long/short equities, macro and global analysis, mortgage-backed securities, fixed income-high yield, event driven, merger arbitration, etc…

These markets are open round the clock, seven days a week, unlike the traditional markets that are closed on weekends and are much bigger, like the currency market (FOREX), which has 50 times more daily transactions than the Dow Jones.

Utilization of these different techniques and the presence in real time in different markets enables the fund to achieve excellent, consistent results.

* Monthly availability :
Contrary to long-term investments, such as life insurance, real estate, or farming, the fund has the advantage of having a monthly liquidity.

* Performance and stability
By aiming for an absolute annual performance of 8% to 10%, the Fund performs better than most traditional investments. These results are also due to our low fixed and proportional costs, which are as much as eight times lower than those found on the market … This is made possible by outsourcing all of our back-office, banking, and trustee tasks and by rigorously choosing our sub-funds and negotiating access conditions. This specific characteristic of Fund of Funds (FOF) enables us to control the accumulation of fixed costs. The diversification of markets and management techniques used ensures more stability (ten-times less volatile than traditional management funds) and allows the investor to benefit from an absolute performance.
