ABOUT THIS FUND
The MDAA fund's primary objective is to surpass the returns of a balanced 60% global equity and 40% global bond benchmark. It achieves this by dynamically adjusting its capital allocation across international equities, fixed-income assets, and currencies. The portfolio includes investments in large and medium-capitalization stocks, bond futures, currency derivatives, and inexpensive index-tracking exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Furthermore, the fund can hold American, Global, and International Depository Receipts (ADRs, GDRs, IDRs), alongside other foreign securities. Equity exposure is highly variable, potentially reaching nearly 100% during bullish market conditions, or reducing to zero or even net short positions when markets are bearish. Fixed-income allocations are adapted based on prevailing interest rate trends, and cash holdings are increased during downturns to minimize risk. Currency exposure is actively managed through futures and options, with gold occasionally serving as a proxy. The fund's strategy is rooted in a top-down macroeconomic analysis, reallocating assets in response to shifts in economic, sector-specific, and earnings forecasts. To enhance tactical returns, the fund may also utilize leverage through futures.
