Man AHL Diversified Strategies Limited allocates to the highly successful AHL Diversified Programme , which generated a return of 33.2% in 2008 - a year in which markets experienced extraordinary turbulence. Over the last decade, the programme has repeatedly shown its ability to offer positive performance in all market conditions. Since inception in 1996, it has generated an annualised return of 20.1% .
The AHL Diversified Programme is based on a quantitative and predominantly directional investment strategy, which is highly diversified across over 150 highly liquid and transparent markets including commodities, currencies, stocks and bonds. Upward and downward price trends in these markets are systematically identified and capitalised upon. What makes the strategy stand out is that it often exhibits a low or even negative correlation to traditional investments in periods of market downturn.
Man AHL Diversified Strategies Ltd offers investors a choice of currencies and risk/return profiles. The product is offered in USD and EUR guaranteed bonds as well as non-guaranteed USD income bonds. The guaranteed bonds3 are offered with a 100% capital guarantee from Credit Suisse International3 and are designed to generate a higher capital return, while the income bonds will pay a non-discretionary, fixed annual coupon. Investors can also select a balance between capital guaranteed3 and income bonds, enabling them to tailor the portfolio to their own investment objectives.
Patrick Merville, CEO of Man investments Middle East, said:
"We believe Man AHL Diversified Strategies Ltd will generate a lot of interest since it is a great portfolio enhancer. It has the potential to offer a low or even negative correlation to stocks and bonds, and therefore reduce the volatility of a portfolio whilst offering an additional source of return."
