Lynx (Sweden)

Lynx Asset Management AB

Strategy Description

Lynx is a global hedge fund employing two main types of models: trend following models and diversifying models. Within these two categories the models are further divided into three sub-categories based on their investment horizon: short-term, medium-term and long-term models. The fund’s investment universe consists of stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities traded on futures markets across the globe. The trend following models account for most of Lynx’s risk exposure. The diversifying models make use of other signals than price momentum. The fund’s investment process is entirely systematic and based on proprietary-developed models. Lynx’s objective is to deliver high risk-adjusted returns with low correlation to traditional asset classes.
