ABOUT INSCH KINTORE
The Insch Kintore strategy is a fully disciplined and entirely systematic trading program that trades gold (as a currency) versus G7 currencies. The program is “trend following” in nature and fully automated in terms of trade implementation and execution. Buy and sell signals are generated from price breakouts, volatility and other proprietary signals. The strategy has achieved exceptionally attractive levels of investment performance with consistent alpha, alongside non-correlated downside deviation when compared with traditional investments.
Due to the portfolio and the instrument traded (XAU/G7 as FX cross rates), Insch Kintore offers extreme transparency and liquidity. It also offers:
Outperformance over equity markets, fixed income markets and gold
Real diversification from equity, fixed income and precious metals
Crisis risk offset for a traditional portfolio
This best-in-class strategy won the 2016 EuroHedge Award for Best Managed Futures Performance under $500m, the 2017 CTA Intelligence Award for Long Term Performance Under $500m and the 2017 HFR Review Best Managed Futures/CTA Award.
