Product Details

Investment Objective:
The fund adopts a strategy that uses a fully systematic approach to invest in US Equities, whose weights are adjusted with an ESG overlay. The strategy aims to provide capital growth and to outperform its benchmark (60% of S&P 500 Top 50, 40% Cash) on average by 25% of the benchmark‘s total returns while keeping a high correlation to the benchmark.

Investment Strategy/Policy:
This long-only model is a combination of trend and counter trend logic that continuously attempts to capitalize on short-term market swings. Its superior timing qualities enables it to generate attractive results in both up trending and sideways trending markets. The ESG overlay is a proprietary Key Performance Indicator (KPI) weighting methodology.
 
Underlying portfolio:
The fund will hold a diversified portfolio of around 50 of the largest and most liquid US equities from the S&P 500 Top 50 index.

Model/Algorithm Summary:
The model underlying the Strategy consist of a robust trading rules based on price patterns and technical indicators. The model is a combination of several entry and exit signals and uses limit orders to enter and exit market positions – thereby, the recent volatility of the underlying stock is taken into account. Equity exposure varies dynamically depending on which stocks the model generates the signals.  A further weighting maybe applied as per the ESG KPI score. The average holding period is around 2-3 weeks.

Signal Generation:
Signals are generated after the close of business for execution the next business day. New signals are generated daily on a Limit Order basis. Approximately 15 round turns are expected per year per constituent, with an average holding term of 16 days.

IMPACT Ethos:

Anyone should be able to invest who has a will or need to grow their underlying capital and to support good causes that help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals from the UN. Intalcon will donate part of the performance fee immediately to the Intalcon Foundation for, a further donation will be made from the annual profits of the Intalcon company.

This means clients funds remain liquid while having indirect contributions to otherwise illiquid Impact projects.
