Through Enfinium Capital Management we can provide institutional investment strategies to the retail client through the use of Managed Discretionary Accounts. The Managed Discretionary Account (MDA) is personalised to the highest level for the individual investor. It also gives the portfolio manager authority to make investment decisions and therefore allows them to take advantage of dynamic market conditions in the most timely and efficient manner. The MDA follows the below account structures:-

  Individually Managed Accounts
  Separately Managed Accounts

A popular strategy is the Global Volatility. The asset classes of the Global Volatility Portfolio investment universe are all liquid markets: Commodities, Equity Indices, Currencies and Interest Rates, creating a natural diversification between asset classes and geographic allocation.

The strategy will only transact in liquid vanilla options and futures, resulting in a highly scalable investment product. Enfinium Capital Management has developed an approach that exhibits consistent positive returns which are uncorrelated to traditional asset classes. The strategy exploits the bias between implied and realised volatility through quantitative models which define under and overpriced volatility among the underlying asset classes to build a long / short volatility portfolio. The portfolio structure combined with dynamic risk management and tactical rebalancing ensure optimal risk / reward.

The quantitative model identifies when the implied volatility of an underlying asset class is at a premium to historic volatility. Analysis focuses on the relationship of this implied volatility as a function of the price of options on the underlying asset - the 'smile', vertical skew. Horizontal skew, in which options further from expiry are cheaper in volatility terms than those near expiry, is also examined in order to construct volatility surface trades that profit through time decay 'theta'.

The trading approach is a patient one, waiting for volatility opportunities to present themselves rather than being forced in to trades for the wrong reasons. The Global Volatility Portfolio offers the potential opportunity to profit in both rising and falling markets targeting significant growth potential along with commensurate risk. Alternative investments are complex and carry risk. The strategy is suitable for investors seeking a high return with risk capital.
