Precy Dumlao, Opalesque Asia:

Baton Rouge, Louisiana – based JP Global Capital Management, manager of the forex fund Troika I that trades 7 currency pairs around the world, is feeling confident these days. The Troika I Fund after all was up +1.58% in August (+4.62% YTD) compared to a year-to-date performance of HFRX Currency Index of ‐1.08%. The Morningstar Currency category was up +0.83% during the same period.

In an exclusive interview with Opalesque, JP Global Capital Managing Director J.D. Perry said "Our strategy is doing very well on both an absolute and risk adjusted basis. Given our desire to generate a historical equity return with much lower volatility, we are pleased with the return thus far. More importantly, we are seeing the returns accelerate into the range we are targeting after experiencing a slow start to 2011."

J.D. Perry described the last several months as the best months for the Troika I Fund in terms of performance. The fund is approximately up 3.31% for the quarter ending August 2011 and expects its returns to further accelerate. During that same period, the Morningstar Currency sub-index trailed the fund and produced a return of approximately ‐1.74%.

And with September already half way, J.D. Perry said "the current month is shaping up to be a strong month for us at this juncture as well and we are anticipating a stronger fourth quarter."......................
