October 1 PvB (CH) Swiss Equity Futures Fund: systematic, model based investments in SMI Futures.

New launch as of October 1, 2013:

PvB (CH) Swiss Equity Futures Fund

Dear investors,

We are proud to announce the extension of our product range with a new fund investing systematically and model based into SMI Futures. Various micro- and macroeconomic factors are used by a statistical model to forecast the SMI development for the next 60 days. The funds invests without emotions according to the forecast of the model: A positive forecast leads to 200% long exposure, a negative forecast to 200% short exposure and in case of an uncertain forecast the fund holds cash. The model runs daily and the signals are implemented without the interference of humans in the investment decisions.

The fund is different from CTA- and Global Macro funds: CTA strategies often focus on short-term prognosis and are typically based on a limited number of input factors (mainly price/volume data). Global Macro funds often focus on long-term prognosis but are not purely model based. The PvB (CH) Swiss Equity Futures Fund is completely model based and invests based on a mid-term forecast (SMI in 60 days).
