Quadriga Hedge Fund

I read about this fund and its founder in European Business magazine. Very successful system trading fund:

32.33% average p.a. return in the last 5 years. 19.93% max drawdown. Very good IMO

It is good to know they openly admit using Tech Analysis and Trend-following system. Many other funds , including Peter Lynch, Sorso, claimed they didn't use TA.

If a prof. fund could get 30% per year, a home trader like me should be very satisifed with such result.

I've met a couple of the guys on a tour through HK. They are the real deal.

I worked with a guy who was let go by our old firm and ended up at Quadriga. Top notch chart wiz..if he;s any indication of the firm as a whole, they gotta be pretty good.

One of the Schindler Fund's investors is also a Quadriga investor and he has been very happy with them.

Quadriga has been in the press lately because they have registered a hedge fund to sell to retail investors in the US. (Most hedge funds are unregistered and, thus, limited to 100 investors.) It takes a lot of time, effort, and money to register a fund.

It has less than 10 years records. Is it reliable? LTCM also had 3 profitable years before it crashed.

caveat emptor...as always.

Having said that, I don't think it is fair to compare Quadriga to LTCM. These guys are a very small (relative) fund using VERY different investing tactics and to my knowledge are not using massive (60X) leverage.

Still, the probability of a blow out is always there.
