The multidimensional approach has been formalised in the ART concept or Absolute Return Trading, which seeks to attain a high level of qualitative and quantitative forecasting relevance while making it possible to target absolute performances whatever the economic environment. |
With great flexibility in the allocation of assets, the ART concept thus makes it possible to preserve the capital from year to year by putting in place a ratchet-like system in function of the client’s risk profile The client himself determines the point for triggering the stop losses (= deactivating barriers) which consist of selling at a loss positions that have depreciated to critical levels.
The preservation of capital thus remains the essential condition of ART management, and this irrespective of the risk profile chosen by the client.
