Fund Overview
The flagship Callanish Global Macro strategy seeks to achieve absolute returns by investing in the global equity, bond and currency markets, utilising a disciplined investment process. The portfolio targets annualised volatility of 12% and is constructed using a number of underlying investment signals to generate long and short exposures within each of the three asset classes. Each signal is based on an economic or fundamental principle that is exploited in a systematic way and each is designed to be uncorrelated to other signals in its asset class and to other signals in other asset classes. Each signal is allocated the same level of forecast risk within each asset class, and each asset class is allocated an equal risk budget, generating a diverse and liquid portfolio. The Fund is due to launch May 2010.
