Colonial FirstChoice Investments - Aspect Diversified Futures - Managed Fund

Fund Objective

Aspect takes a quantitative and systematic investment approach. Aspect's trend-following systems trade in over 230 of the most liquid global futures and forward markets and employ a fully automated system to process and analyse market data as well as idiosyncratic non-price data in order to identify and exploit directional moves (or 'trends') in markets. By maintaining comparatively small exposures to any individual contract, Aspect achieves sector and contract diversification. The option aims to minimise unintentional currency exposure.
