16 Quantitative AnalysisQuantitative Risk Management Here we have the quantitative risk analysis results on the fund as it is projected to run based on last year’s back testing and live data. The algorithm that we have back tested for the past three years has proven that it has great alpha and earning potential during low to medium volatility markets. However we wanted to make a fund based on this algorithm that would last long term and through varied levels of volatility. To do this the alpha has been controlled and the risks have been heavily managed. We have outlined transparent details of the funds projected quantitative analysis so that investors are able to invest long term with strong confidence of seeing a stable return. The algorithmic risk allocation shows the projected breakdown of algorithmic allocation based on risk as described by VAR and DD (Draw Down Risk).
