We are bringing the investor and asset management communities together, ONLINE on October 28 – 29, 2020 to talk about the logistics of fund set up, hedge fund technology solutions and currency strategies.

Viktor Khedri
Co-Founder, C8 Capital AB
Fin-tech meets capital management - we offer innovative algorithmic product solutions for licensed funds management companies.
The strategy is made of multiple algorithmic trading systems that operate in the Fx market over the most liquid currency pairs.
Two main concepts constitute the style of the strategy: a trend-following part and a reversal one working together. The risk-reward of each operation is always positive and adaptive to recent market ranges.
Over time, every single algorithm performance is monitored to maintain a minimum standard of quality.
Macro Veterani
Co-Founder, C8 Capital AB
The trend-following logic focuses on volatility breakouts and price momentum, to enter
the direction of a new-born trend as early as possible while at the same time avoiding and filtering false breakout patterns. The reversal logic looks for all those patterns where the trend-following logic may mistakenly take a position while aiming for strong opposite price action: this ensures a well balanced diversification and reducing the overall growth volatility in the portfolio of algorithms. Every trade comes with a stoploss order and no negative averaging is considered.
The risk-reward of each operation is always positive and adaptive to recent market ranges.
Gianluca Carolo
Managing Director, Finbou
Gianluca holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics and worked several years in IT for different banks. Forex and algorithmic trading caught his interest in the year 2004, and from that moment, he started experimenting with different trading strategies and studying the market microstructure. In September 2014, he founded Finbou AG (former Prediction GmbH) to leverage the strong Swiss regulation and his knowledge of building a trading infrastructure. The first managed accounts were launched in January 2017, when the Thales strategy was offered to the public. Since the launch, the company has steadily grown in assets.The strategy focuses on news events, in particular, central bank monetary policy decisions. The strategy seeks to capitalize mispricings in the currency market, in relation to unexpected policy shifts or reactions to expected outcomes. The entry timing is determined by scenario analysis conducted before the event. Each scenario is assigned a pre-defined risk depending on conviction levels and the historical probability of winning. The objective of the strategy is to produce positive returns under any market conditions while outperforming relevant benchmarks in risk-adjusted terms.
Aatu Kokkila
Investment Manager, Finbou
Aatu is a graduate of the Aalto University School of Business in Helsinki. He is a co-founder and partner of Finbou AG since 2016. He has been proprietary trading since 2012, running various strategies based on news events, price action, supply and demand analysis and fundamentals of the FX market. He began running the Thales strategy in its current format from 2015 onwards when he started focusing on events. The higher risk option (Thales 3x) has outperformed the SP500 and the main macro fund benchmarks by a considerable margin, especially in risk-adjusted terms.
David Kaplan
Co-founder, HELIUM
Helium uses a proprietary mathematical algorithm that performs the trades in the FX markets.
The trading algorithm uses orderbook dataflow from major exchanges and uses this information on when to buy or sell.
When retail traders are short, our algorithm is long and vice versa. By doing so, it trades against individuals who in 90% of cases lose money in the long term due to high emotion, greed, and over leveraging, and therefore algorithm generates profit.
Retail traders make money in range markets where they can buy the low and sell the high. Once the trend starts breaking out, they start losing.
Tilen Repar
Co-founder, HELIUM
The last ten years have proven that our strategy works.
With more than 1,038 % gross return during these years, we are confident that the algorithm and the strategies behind it work exactly as they are supposed to.
It’s a long-term strategy as it’s based on the fact that in the long run, most retail traders lose money and the algorithm does just the opposite.

Schedule
- 11am - 6pm (UK) | 6am-1pm (US EST) | 9pm-4am (ACDT) | 6pm-1am (Asia)
Day 1: Wednesday, October 28
FX market volatility has been suppressed by central banks for almost a decade. But 2020 is like nothing we have ever seen before: a global pandemic, geopolitical tensions and unprecedented government stimulus bills. With all these unknowns, we are looking at a very uncertain and volatile end to the second decade of this century with potential shifts in world power, US dollar dominance challenged and the role of the world's institutions potentially changed forever.
With financial markets seeing trading costs drop dramatically over the years, many more hedge funds have entered the space. Additional entrants have brought with them more venues, more models and more technology innovation. Hedge funds greatly benefit from technology efficiencies by shortening the time-to-market, improving efficiency and margin management, decreasing trading costs and optimizing liquidity management. During this panel, experts from the field of technology will discuss technology solutions such as sophisticated front-office solutions that help achieve market-beating, risk-adjusted returns, as well as automated and integrated middle, and back-office infrastructures that deliver the operating and compliance efficiencies hedge funds need to control costs and maintain their profitability in an era of tightening fees.

Day 2: Thursday, October 29
The umbrella fund structure makes it cheaper for investors to move from one sub-fund to another and also helps to reduce setup and maintenance costs for the investment manager. During this discussion, experts in the field will discuss various options for umbrella fund setups and weigh-in on the pros and cons of each solution, as well as diving deeper into the operational aspects of these structures.
One of the toughest challenges for any hedge fund to overcome is figuring out how to scale the strategy. Jim Simons' fund Renaissance Technologies, started in the commodities and futures markets, but could not scale its strategies in those markets past $1 billion AUM. FX is a very fragmented market and the challenge of scaling a strategy is even more relevant as your AUM grows. During this panel, we will discuss some of the most effective ways to scale, and optimize your FX trading strategies without compromising results.
