Lyxor Asset Management has launched a new UCITS-compliant fund with the aid of investment manager Winton Capital Management’s trading strategy.

David Harding, founder and president of Winton, said: “We are very pleased to work with Lyxor to provide their UCITS investors with our trading strategy. We’ve been working with Lyxor for more than 10 years and its long and solid experience offers investors a secure, controlled, framework available through its platform.”

The fund will be available on Lyxor’s alternative UCITS platform. The strategy is based on the assumption that in the long term, profit can be derived from the futures markets by using statistical research into market activity.

The fund's investment philosophy is that specific market behavior and trends can be identified and profitably exploited. In particular, the fund will focus on the analysis of market prices and volumes in order to capture trends through liquid financial instruments including futures and forward currency contracts, said a statement from Lyxor.

The fund will be available in EUR, USD, GBP as well as other currencies upon an investor’s requests.
