Wisemann Capital Management

Trend Following

As trend followers, we do not attempt to catch tops or bottoms, instead we aim for the middle or "meat" of a trend.

Designed to deliver absolute returns, our Wisemann Program uses stop losses to limit the downside but never sets any profit targets so that the potential upside of profitable trends is unlimited.

Our Program strictly does not engage in day-trading or scalping.

Trading Without Human Emotions

Our Program is fully systematic with no discretionary intervention. Our approach uses technical analysis to focus on what is actually happening to price movements rather than trying to predict future prices.

Entries and exits are based solely on trading rules which are never over-ridden. We believe it is essential to avoid any emotional bias in trading decisions to be successful in trend following over the long-term.

Continuity and Integrity of our Program

Back-tested against 10 to 15 years of data, our Program has a positive performance record since 2009.

Unlike many other managed forex programs, we do not continually adjust our trading system. Rather, we believe that the integrity of the program is important. This consistency over time means that there is no style drift and that investors can be assured that the program in the past is the same one that will be used going forward.

Strict Money Management Discipline

"If you don't bet, you can't win. But if you lose all your chips, you can’t bet."

As trend followers, we will face flat periods in which we do not make any money, as well as numerous periods in which we will face cutting losses regardless of the most stringent risk parameters.

Therefore, it is imperative that we keep the losses small and manageable while waiting to catch the next trend.

Diversified Portfolio

Unlike many other managed forex programs which trade only one or two currency pairs, the Wisemann Program manages a diversified portfolio of twenty currency pairs, consisting of the 7 majors and 13 exotic pairs.

This allows us to exploit hedging benefits among the different currency pairs and hence reduce the investment risk of our clients’ portfolio.

Long-Term Perspective

Unlike most competitors, we take a long-term approach to capturing trends. It is not uncommon for us to hold positions for weeks or even months, as we avoid trading on random “noise” while long-term trends develop.

In addition, the low frequency of trading helps to minimize transactions costs. We focus on riding the long-term trends and not be distracted by market noises and short-term fluctuations.

High Water Mark

We make money when our clients make money. We charge a performance fee on profits above the high water mark.

In the case we do not make any profits, we receive no performance fee. And if we make a loss, we will not be paid until we first make back all the money we have lost.

Security

Your funds in your trading account are kept safeguarded in a "segregated account" with the broker.

Also, only you can withdraw the funds from your trading account, and the funds can only be transferred to a bank account of the same name (i.e. your name).

Transparency

Unlike hedge funds where the investors have no visibility of their accounts activities, our Managed Forex Account Program enable our clients to have full visibility of all trading activities in their account 24/7: what trades are open, your profit/loss status.

Instant Access To Your Money

Investments in hedge funds are illiquid, with lock-up periods of 1-3 years and redemption notice requirements. Your investment here is liquid - your Managed Forex Account is not a fixed term deposit and you are not bound to any particular period. You have full rights to make withdrawals from your account at any time. However, it is advisable to inform your money manager beforehand, so as not to affect your account's trading margin.
