APF Managed Forex Accounts

• Managed forex accounts are becoming an
  increasingly popular way of accessing the forex
  market for retail investors, who might not have
  the time or expertise to trade their own account.
  An investment in a managed forex account provides
  investors with the ability to profit from the
  currency market, having their account managed by
  a professional money manager, whilst at the same
  time having complete access to their fund, 24
  hours a day.

Trading Strategies

• APF Trading employs proprietary technical
  systematic trading strategies.
• The main strategy is a basket of independent
  technical-driven models. Having a basket of
  independent models improves the risk reward
  structure of the main strategy. 
• Our models are driven primarily by Ichimoku Kinko
  Hyo, DeMark Indicators, Fibonnaci and Intermarket
  Quantitative Models.
• Capital preservation is key. We adhere to strict
  money management rules in all our trading. 1 or
  less of capital is risked per trade.
• We seek to generate positive absolute returns by
  trading in spot currencies (mainly G7 pairs),
  irrespective of prevailing market conditions.

The case for systematic trading in FX

• In recent years, investor interest in systematic
  FX trading strategies rose markedly. We see this
  as perfectly rational as there are 3 reasons why
  currency markets are potentially more suited for
  systematic trading than other asset classes like
  stocks and bonds.
• 1) Currency trading decisions are a by-product of
  decisions made in other asset classes for most
  investors. Such includes currency overlay for
  stock institutional investors for example.
  Therefore FX markets typically lag movements in
  other asset classes generating potential for
  systematic predictability.
• 2) Currencies are uniquely suited to
  macro-economic cycles. One of the best known
  macroeconomic relationships are the highly
  pro-cyclical nature of the Australian dollar and
  the safe-haven characteristics of the Swiss
  Franc.
• 3) The currency market is highly liquid which
  makes systematic strategies scaleable while
  keeping execution costs under control

Performance Fee

• Our fee structure is similar to most managed
  futures and managed forex programs. APF Trading
  charges clients solely based upon the performance
  of the trading account. This means that if the
  investor does not see an increase in his
  investment, then APF Trading will not charge any
  fees either. Performance Fees (i.e. a share of
  the profits earned on the investment) are
  subjected to a 'high watermark'.
• We charge a performance fee of 20.
• We do not charge an entry fee, set-up fee, or an
  annual management charge to our clients.

High Watermark Calculation
the index is well in a bull trend.

• The implementation of a 'high watermark' means
  that APF Trading will only receive a Performance
  Fee when the value of a client's investment is
  greater than its previous greatest value. Should
  the value of the investment subsequently drop, we
  will only receive a Performance Fee again once
  the value of the investment has once again
  reached it's greatest value.
