Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background
The AIS Gold strategy employs a long term discretionary, fundamental global macro investment process to build a portfolio that combines equities of companies engaged in gold or other precious metals mining, with a combination of current producers, and junior miners in the exploration or development stages. The strategy may employ moderate leverage.
Founded in 1993 and more than 97% employee owned, AIS Capital Management, L.P., is an investment management firm focused on the absolute-return strategies in global financial markets. Relying on a thorough understanding of the driving forces behind price action in global markets, the investment team has developed and implemented discretionary and systematic global macro strategies that seek to generate alpha over multiple market cycles while minimizing risk. The firm offers several global macro programs, a balanced asset allocation strategy, and a gold strategy. AIS stands for “Applied Intelligence Strategies,” a term for computer programs that combine the best aspects of sound investment principles with the strict disciplines of mathematics.
