Alternative Asset Management
This management style, known as "alternative", is based on complex strategies and strives to achieve an absolute performance uncorrelated with the mainstream markets. This type of management is very different from traditional management. It uses specialized techniques capitalizing on the increase or decrease of many instruments such as indices, equities, metals, agricultural raw materials, energy and currencies, using a leverage from 2 to 8 depending on the risk level. This active management style seeks to reach a double-digit absolute annual rate of return, regardless of the performance of stock and bond markets and the reference currency of the account.
Traditional Asset Management
The traditional management style applies modern portfolio theory (developed by Harry Markowitz in 1952) similar to the vast majority of banks around the world. The result is a diversified portfolio, which does not benefit from the decline in financial markets and is therefore totally dependent on rising markets for performance. Thanks to its expertise in financial engineering, Geneva Trading Advisers improves on this style of portfolio management with its proactive hedging techniques (risk mitigation) on the stock, bond and currency markets. Potential losses are avoided, and the flexibility of the portfolio allocation process is greatly improved.
Even though the traditional style can be less active than the alternative style, stock and bond market benchmark rates of return can be regularly surpassed.
