Opalesque Exclusive: Update: Asian Currency fund returns 1.52% in January and 28.35% in 2007 London-based Cambridge Strategy Asset Management’s Asian Alpha Currency strategy returned 1.52% in January (the annualised return since its Feb 06 inception is 20%). ‘The stellar performance is testament to the strong infrastructure and the quality of our proprietary trading platform that we have built over the last three years,’ Mr. Doupe said. Mr. Doupe is Cambridge’s new marketing director.

The strategy aims to profit from short and medium term moves in the Asian market currency pairs. To achieve this, the firm employs a systematic approach, designed to perform across market environments. The process combines two types of trading systems: a Systematic Technical Strategy and a Systematic Fundamental Strategy.

The Asian Alpha strategy commenced trading in February 2006 as a managed account for an Asian institutional client. In February 2008, a commingled fund was established to provide access to this strategy to a wider community of investors. Performance for the period February 2006 to January 2008 refers to equal weighted average of the managed accounts invested via the Asian Alpha Currency strategy.
