4. Global Portfolio Management

Purpose:
Global Portfolio Management oversees the allocation and management of our proprietary risk capital across different asset classes. This department is responsible for balancing risk and reward while ensuring that our overall portfolio aligns with our long-term objectives.

Key Functions:

• Risk Capital Allocation: Distributing capital among various strategies and asset classes based on performance metrics and market conditions.
• Performance Monitoring: Tracking the performance of each strategy and making adjustments to maintain an optimal risk-return profile.
• Rebalancing and Diversification: Ensuring that the portfolio remains diversified and that exposure is balanced across different markets.
• Units-of-Allocation System: Converting capital into discrete units (each initially valued at US$1.00) for standardized performance tracking and consistent position sizing.

Strategic Impact:
This disciplined management of proprietary capital maximizes returns and maintains risk exposure at acceptable levels, paving the way for long-term growth and stability.

5. Global Data Science

Purpose:
Global Data Science is dedicated to transforming raw financial data into actionable insights. This department underpins our quantitative research and trading operations by ensuring that our decisions are informed by the most comprehensive and up-to-date information.

Key Functions:

• Data Acquisition and Mining: Gathering and structuring data from multiple sources, including market feeds, economic indicators, and news.
• Advanced Analytics: Utilizing machine learning and statistical techniques to identify patterns and trends that can improve trading signals.
• Visualization and Reporting: Creating interactive dashboards and analytical reports that support decision-making.
• System Integration: Ensuring seamless integration of data into our trading and risk management platforms for real-time analysis.

Strategic Impact:
By leveraging advanced analytics, this department ensures that our trading strategies are data-driven, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of our models and risk controls.

6. Global Risk Management

Purpose:
Global Risk Management is the safeguard of our operations. This department is responsible for overseeing all aspects of risk, ensuring that our trading activities are executed within predefined risk parameters.

Key Functions:

• Market Risk Analysis: Continuously monitoring exposure and managing market risks through dynamic risk controls.
• Credit and Operational Risk: Evaluating risks associated with counterparties, operational processes, and technology.
• Adaptive Risk Controls: Implementing tools like our Dynamic Adaptive ATR Trailing Stop (DAATS) to adjust stop-loss levels in real time based on market volatility.
• Stress Testing: Conducting scenario analysis and stress tests to ensure our portfolio is resilient under adverse conditions.
• Compliance and Governance: Enforcing internal risk policies and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements.

Strategic Impact:
Effective risk management is vital to protect our proprietary capital. This department’s work enables us to pursue aggressive trading strategies with confidence, knowing that risks are being managed dynamically.

7. Global Technology & Infrastructure

Purpose:
Global Technology & Infrastructure ensures that our trading systems are built on a robust, scalable, and secure technological foundation. This department is critical for maintaining the performance and reliability of our proprietary trading platforms.

Key Functions:

• System Development & Integration: Designing and maintaining high-performance trading platforms and infrastructure.
• Infrastructure Management: Ensuring resilient, low-latency connectivity and optimal data processing across global markets.
• Cybersecurity: Implementing robust security protocols to safeguard our proprietary technology and data.
• Emerging Technologies: Exploring innovations such as AI, machine learning, blockchain, and cloud computing to maintain our competitive edge.
• Operational Support: Providing continuous technical support and ensuring IT governance and compliance.

Strategic Impact:
A robust technological infrastructure is the backbone of our operations. This department not only drives efficiency and scalability but also enables continuous innovation and risk reduction across our trading systems.

8. Global Compliance & Regulatory Affairs

Purpose:
Global Compliance & Regulatory Affairs is dedicated to ensuring that our operations remain fully compliant with all relevant regulations. This department is essential for managing legal risks and maintaining the integrity of our proprietary trading activities.

9. Integrated Business Model and Proprietary Trading Strategy

Master Account Approach:
Our proprietary trading model is executed through a master account strategy. The initial trade is executed on the M60 timeframe, providing a balance between responsiveness and trend clarity. As market conditions evolve, additional positions are layered onto the master account. Our dynamic exit strategy is governed by the DAATS mechanism, ensuring that profits are secured adaptively as the market moves in our favor.

Units-of-Allocation System:
We convert capital into discrete units (with each unit initially valued at US$1.00). This approach standardizes performance measurement, simplifies position sizing, and provides clear visibility into our fund’s growth. This metric enables us to monitor performance transparently and work towards our vision of an “ATM-like” fund.

Risk and Reward:
Our strategy is built around a reward-to-risk ratio of 5:1. By employing adaptive risk management tools (like DAATS) on the M60 timeframe and supplementing our entries with dynamic position additions, we ensure that every trade is optimized for maximum upside while protecting against downside risk.

Conclusion

Our integrated business model combines the strengths of multiple specialized departments—from Global Quantitative Research and Global Proprietary Trading Desk to Global Technology & Infrastructure and Global Compliance & Regulatory Affairs—to create a comprehensive, adaptive trading system. This system, underpinned by advanced financial engineering and a dynamic units-of-allocation approach, enables us to deploy proprietary trading strategies directly in the global financial markets without relying on external clients. Our ultimate goal is to build an “ATM-like” fund that consistently delivers superior, risk-adjusted returns.
