Fusion Fund
Investment Objectives and Strategies
The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation across a wide variety of market conditions, with the goal of providing longer term investors better returns with less volatility than the broad equity market averages across a full market cycle.
To achieve its investment objective, the Fund applies proprietary quantitative and trading methodologies to invest in equities and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) representing: both U.S. and overseas debt and equity securities. The Fund will also invest in debt securities of U.S. and foreign Government and Government secured bonds of any maturity or quality. ETFs typically are open-end investment companies which track securities indices or baskets of securities.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate its assets among securities of various regions and countries, including the United States. The Fund’s portfolio may include securities in both developed and emerging markets in Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, North and South America. The Fund will hold long positions with an aggregate value of up to 100% of its net assets and establish short positions with a market value of approximately 45% of its net assets. The Fund may use put options on indices to alter exposure as overall insurance when volatility is low and rising number of cyclical short ideas. The Fund may also invest up to 30% of its net assets in U.S. Government zero-coupon bonds.
