HOW THE MANAGER INVESTS
WHAT IS YOUR INVESTING STRATEGY? (GROWTH, VALUE, TECHNICAL ANALYSIS, ETC.)
answer --> Check out our website at www.intelledgement.biz -- we are focused on understanding the likely financial implications of changes such as the aging of populations in the developed world, the rise of China and India, global warming, the AIDS epidemic, the decline of the U.S. dollar, and others…and using investment strategies employed by macro hedge funds to profit from the effects of these changes. Between 1988 and 2008, the S&P 500 had a compounded annual growth rate of 6.37%, while macro-strategy hedge funds produced a CAGR of 14.25%. We believe that specialization is a hallmark of civilization. However, it is possible to have too much of a good thing, and as with the daily news media, most financial advisors tend to focus on transitory minutia ("trees") to the detriment of appreciating the big picture ("the forest"). Studiously comparing USA banks affords one the advantage of knowing which are the stronger ones…until the dollar crashes, tanking them all! Our constant purpose is to help you to navigate around the potential shoals of “forest” level developments, so that you don't get stuck, metaphorically speaking, in a seemingly unassailable evolutionary niche cleaning the teeth of sharks only to discover one day that they have gone extinct. To this end, we aim to benefit you by seeking the best return-on-investment we can get on the portion of your savings you commit to the stock market, utilizing macro strategy-informed investments in—primarily—exchange-traded funds.
HOW DO YOU SELECT NEW COMPANIES FOR YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> We believe that exchange-traded funds are the best vehicles for the average investor to implement a macro strategy (or any other strategy). No matter how closely you study an individual company, there are too many random, uncontrollable (by you) factors that can overwhelm your analysis (e.g., CEO crashes his new Ferarri on the day of the successful IPO leaving company leaderless at key moment, CEO and CFO turn out to have been lying about revenues and profits, contractor working in company’s Kasakhstani office deeds oil wells to friends and relatives and the local courts recognize the transfer as “legal”, etcetera). If there is a supply-demand imbalance in natural gas for the USA market, don’t just buy two or three individual companies—buy ETFs focused on the USA natural gas market and/or on the price of the commodity itself. That way if one of the companies flames out with a fire, hurricane damage, unexpectedly bad exploration results, fraudulent accounting, or whatever, some other company your fund is invested in will pick up the slack and overall your return-on-investment won’t be much affected.
HOW DO YOU DECIDE TO REMOVE A STOCK FROM YOUR FUNDS?
answer --> Generally, decisions to liquidate positions are taken the same way as decisions to initiate them: based on our macro analysis. However, in times of systemic risk, volatility is extremely high due to the difficulty at performing reliable valuations. Consequently, unusually large price movements, both consistent with and counter to the prevailing macro trends, can occur in a matter of weeks or days. Under such conditions, we will liquidate positions that are consistent with our macro analysis to preserve capital if the market is stampeding in the "wrong" direction.
