GCM

Based in Zurich with a team of 3 individuals, Global Currency Management have a proven track record as a global currency manager with an international client base of Institutional investors. Through managed accounts GCM currently handle in excess of MUSD50 in assets. GCM benefits from over 40 years of combined relevant experience. The strategy is discretionary in nature as opposed to systematic. The team develops a global "macro view" of the most important asset classes and then uses technical analysis and modelling of trading ranges to express their view via specific currency positions. The strategy aims to generate high total returns that are not correlated with the returns of other asset classes. Investing is done in six of the most liquid currency pairs comprising the world’s major currencies using spot and forward contracts only, no options. Research is currently being undertaken in a new portfolio of commodity currencies. The aim of this research will be to achieve a more efficient overall portfolio and to allow Global Currency Managements asset under management to grow further without compromising performance. Risk management is at the core of the strategy and in challenging times exposure is reduced to avoid large draw-downs.
