Investment Overview
DIVAS Trend Strategy is a fully systematic medium to long-term trend following program which aims to exploit market inefficiencies in absolute and relative price movements. The Program invests in a broad investment universe consisting of the most liquid equity, fixed income / interest rates, commodity and currency futures. The Strategy is based on a proprietary quantitative model which statistically identifies price trends and optimally allocates risk capital to absolute and relative trends.
