Managed Funds – Intra-day trading and investment strategy

Each day our trading team receives the proprietary PIA first market research and trading signals covering the instruments we trade – financial futures and foreign exchange. This valuable information is acted upon according to the strict investment management rules that form the proprietary intraday trading strategy formulated by PIA firstcapital. Profits and losses arising from the day’s trading activity are allocated to your managed funds account so that you are able to see trading results daily. In addition, we provide monthly statements which are reconciled to your managed funds account and show the deduction of applicable costs and fees.

Managed Funds – Discretionary Risk Management Overlay

The traders apply an agreed discretionary investment overlay providing them with the ability to take immediate prudent action to preserve performance: Occasionally, in live financial markets, prices may move much faster than the PIA first analysts can transmit relevant trading signals to their clients, therefore the trader requires the discretion to crystallise profits or losses ahead of such information being received.

Managed Funds – Leverage

Futures are traded on a margined basis which creates leverage to amplify trading results. This means a percentage of the futures contract value being traded is required as initial margin – an initial deposit. The margin requirements are set by the exchange where the futures contract trades.

Leverage is also applied to our foreign exchange trading to magnify small market movements. PIA firstcapital applies leverage of up to 10 times to funds applied to foreign exchange trading.
