Gold-focused trend-follower Insch Kintore anticipates “ideal” volatility level in commodity

Investing

Gold-focused trend-follower Insch Kintore anticipates “ideal” volatility level in commodity Submitted 02/03/2021 - 5:36pm Christopher Cruden, manager of the currency and gold-focused CTA strategy Insch Kintore, hopes to capitalise on “ideal” elevated volatility levels in the commodity this year, following a positive start to 2021. Cruden’s novel Insch Kintore strategy, which marked its sixth anniversary earlier this year, is a systematic trend-following programme which treats gold as a currency, trading the precious metal as a base currency against G10 currencies on a rolling spot basis. The fund rose more than 6 per cent in February, as gold dropped by around the same amount. The algorithm-based quant hedge fund takes an agnostic stance on the direction of gold, and instead trades the volatility of the daily price changes in the 10 currencies against gold as FX crosses. “This year we anticipate that volatility will remain at somewhat elevated levels, but they will probably decrease over time, not to previous historic lows but somewhere between the major highs in volatility that we spiked to and the historic lows,” he told Hedgeweek on Tuesday. “That range is ideal for us.”...

OpenGamma expands partnership with Aspect Capital

Investing

OpenGamma expands partnership with Aspect Capital Submitted 02/03/2021 - 2:40pm Aspect Capital, a systematic investment manager, is further expanding its use of OpenGamma’s derivatives analytics across the range of markets it trades. OpenGamma’s analytics track risk exposure and help maintain fund liquidity. OpenGamma’s breadth of coverage for exchange and broker margin methodologies has made it the partner of choice for Aspect Capital since 2018. Aspect Capital is always seeking new opportunities, and trading new markets comes with hidden challenges. For example, futures and options contracts trade on local country exchanges, and each exchange has its own specific approach for calculating derivatives margin. To help control risk and manage liquidity, it is important that the investment manager is able to predict the derivatives margin requirements from current, and potential new strategies. This requires access to margin analytics that cover the specific methodologies used in each local market. The breadth of market coverage provided by OpenGamma reduces the time and cost of preparing to trade new markets. Jake Thornton, Head of Market Risk at Aspect Capital, says: “As ...

The Malta advantage

Investing

The Malta advantage Submitted 02/03/2021 - 8:10am FinanceMalta Contact Form Contact Company Q&A with Dr Kyle Scerri (pictured), Regulated Industries and Compliance Advisorat CSB Group, a member of FinanceMalta… How will the EU regulatory framework for digital assets impact Malta’s offer in the space? The introduction of a proposed level playing field across the EU through the Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (“MiCA”), will undoubtedly test Malta’s competitive advantage among promoters and service providers seeking a regulated forum for the issuance and establishment of digital assets. This, however, is a challenge which should be met with optimism rather than scepticism. Malta’s regulatory bodies and industry professionals have gained industry know-how by actively being on the ground and working with such business models for the past years. This is an invaluable asset which should be showcased. Also, it is to be noted that the introduction of a harmonised framework will not spell the end of the local regime. Rather, it will ‘refine’ it to ensure that the framework meets the minimum standards which will be set out at a supranational level. When you consolidate the a...

Investing

Diginex's Bletchley Park fund generated a 35 per cent return in year to 31 Jan Submitted 01/03/2021 - 10:31am Diginex Limited's flagship liquid alpha centric fund of crypto hedge funds, Bletchley Park Multi Strategy Fund (BPMSF), generated an estimated net 35 per cent return for the last twelve months, as of 31 January. BPMSF primarily invests in alpha strategies that generate returns with limited directional exposure to underlying crypto prices (eg, movements in the price of bitcoin). BPMSF has achieved this through investing in a range of carefully selected crypto hedge fund managers with the objective of being profitable in a range of market conditions, including periods of declining crypto currency prices. Returns can potentially be generated from arbitrage, market making, short term trading opportunities, momentum, relative value strategies, and many other opportunities that are unique within crypto markets. This diverse composition of strategies has enabled the fund to generate positive returns in 10 out of the past 15 months, since inception in November 2019 and, notably, the fund has outperformed in each and every month when bitcoin has had a negative return. The in...

Etrading Software becomes Registration Authority for new Digital Token Identifiers

Tech

Etrading Software becomes Registration Authority for new Digital Token Identifiers Submitted 01/03/2021 - 9:19am Etrading Software, an independent, global provider of technology-led solutions designed for financial institutions and industry initiatives, has been nominated to become the exclusive Registration Authority, (RA), for the new International Organization for Standardization’s, (ISO), standard for Digital Token Identifiers (DTIs). The crypto-asset class includes crypto-currencies such as bitcoin, as well as multiple other product types, such as stable-coins, security-tokens and utility-tokens. With thousands of crypto-assets in the market, and the list rapidly growing, there has so far been no standard way to identify one digital token from another. Currently, the same digital token can have multiple different identifiers. For example, bitcoin is currently known by BTC and XBT. The identifiers conforming to the new standard, ISO 24165 DTI, will be vendor-neutral, open, freely available, and global. The first DTIs, registered through Etrading Software, are expected to be available by the second half of 2021. Dominique Tanner, ISO/TC 68/SC 8 Chairman said, “As the asset-...

Solving the audit enigma

Investing

Solving the audit enigma Submitted 28/02/2021 - 10:21am Opus Fund Services By Christian Pollard -Every year Opus participates in hundreds of audits where the goal is to distribute a clean set of audited financials out to interested parties in a timely manner. Each party involved in the audit shares a common desire for the process to be completed as smoothly and as quickly as possible, with minimum stress. However, it should not be underestimated how challenging this can be. A smooth audit process requires the manager, the administrator and the auditor to synchronise and work in tandem. Issues may arise anywhere within the 23 key milestones that Opus has identified as being critical to the process. Opus’ suite of proprietary tools that are implemented as part of its core fund administration offering ensures issues are avoided, stress is mitigated, and issuance is timely while providing real time transparency to clients via the Symphony dashboard. A well-planned audit starts four months prior to the end of the financial year end and in fact nearly half of the critical audit milestones that Opus presents to clients via Symphony are achieved in-advance of the financial yea...
