Legal Structure
Brokerage Client Accounts are kept at TradeStation Securities Inc.. Emerge Funds maintains separately managed accounts for each costumer, and only the costumer has control of the money (can only transfer to account registered in the same name).
Clients can see the composition of the portfolio 24 hours per day.
Guarantee:
The client has the protection of FINRA/FDIC for an amount up to $250.000 (USD) per account. If an account were a Joint account, it would be $500.000 (USD). In both cases, that guarantee is on the cash balance in the account.
PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
Diversification must go beyond selecting different companies from different sectors or countries. The portfolio must contain unrelated assets, or those having inverse relationships. For this reason, beyond other diversification methods that we use, we have set up a Portfolio that operates using various trading systems (Algorithms) that include both long and short positions in the following categories of assets:
Within each category, there are assets and trading systems that do not correlate with each other. This insures that our trades in one or another asset respond to different events, so that an unfavorable event in one asset class does not affect the trades made in other asset classes.
Why should you invest with EMERGE FUNDS
Investing through our scientifically proven systems:
Our selection of investments arises from the detection of anomalies and objective patterns existing in different markets, which may afford long or short investment opportunities.
This selection is made by our Artificial Intelligence Systems based on quantitative algorithms. The system screens over 11,000 asset prices, 24 hours a day.
These algorithms are designed by our AI scientists based on mathematical, statistical, computational analysis and other scientific fields – establishing the most efficient entry and exit points, position sizing, as well as setting acceptable risk parameters. This helps our investors feel confident that their capital and accumulated earnings will be protected in the medium and long terms.
