AN ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FUND FOR PRIVATE AND PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS
From a historical perspective, broad diversification and daily liquidity are extremely helpful ways of generating attractive portfolio returns with moderate volatility. In difficult market phases in particular, liquid alternative investments in the portfolio can be advantageous compared to shares and bond portfolios. The losses are smaller and investors still profit from the economic recovery later on.
Liquid alternative investments such as foreign exchange trading have been shown to combine the advantages of asset accumulation and asset preservation, representing an efficient solution for investors who want to lower risk but remain invested. When used for the purposes of diversification, liquid alternative investments can contribute to opening up additional sources of returns and in turn to controlling portfolio volatility.
WINBRIDGE 4X mainly trades in foreign exchanges but also in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to a lesser extent. It optimises its trading strategy continuously on the basis of a range of risk-adjusted performance metrics in order to maximise its returns within these parameters. Developed and tested in house, its trading strategy is based on highly complex mathematical and statistical models. The trading software analyses price changes extensively in real time and makes trading decisions in the moment which are carried out immediately as purchases or sales. Automated risk mitigation measures guarantee that the software adheres to a predefined risk profile. Trading takes place on specially secure proprietary infrastructure and only with partners which have been certified as compliant.
Ever since the strategy was developed in 2008, the WINBRIDGE currency team has been one of the leading providers in the field of quantitative currency management.

WHAT DOES WINBRIDGE 4X MEAN?
WINBRIDGE 4X is defined as an investment instrument which uses its specially regulated character to generate investment opportunities that differ significantly from the opportunities of traditional investment instruments. WINBRIDGE 4X strategies focus on the idiosyncratic risk in order to maximise the income generated using sophisticated, proven algorithms regardless of the market environment.
“The interesting thing about foreign exchange trading is that it is independent of the markets. We have no preferred exchange rates – as long as the currencies move, we can profit from it regardless of how the markets are performing. This gives us a colossal advantage: independence.”
OPPORTUNITIES
- With a daily trading volume of € 6.5 billion, foreign exchange trading is the largest, most liquid market in the world, according to the Bank for International Settlements.
- Profits can be made when exchange rates rise and fall.
- The foreign exchange market does not depend on the health of the economy.
- The opportunities to make a profit are far greater than average.
RISKS
- The risk and income category is calculated using historical data which cannot be taken as a solid indicator of the fund’s future risk profile.
- The risk and income category can change over time and is not to be viewed as a target.
- The fund makes no guarantees: the value of the investment can rise or fall. Losses are a potential risk.
