There is a lot going on at Auspice. A new and innovative fund, new people, new clients and growing assets.
Last month we talked about leverage, and the power of using this to gain cash efficient market exposure. Ultimately this led us to the launch of a new fund.
The Auspice One Fund combines exposure to traditional assets and the award-winning Auspice protective strategies on a near equal basis. It recognizes the powerful opportunity to benefit from the non-correlation of equity, fixed income and the divergent, negatively correlated strategies we specialize in. Global futures contracts efficiently generate tactical, diversifying exposures, while passive exposures are obtained through ESG sensitive equity and bond ETFs, and gold.
A diversified traditional portfolio, and proven protective strategies, in One Fund.
Did we invent the wheel with the Auspice One Fund? No. There are other multi-asset products available, albeit few in markets like Canada. However, as we looked for products we would put our money in, we saw some concepts we liked, but many flaws we couldn’t ignore. Some only gave exposure to a single recently outperforming equity market like the S&P500, others were completely passive in their traditional exposures. What we couldn’t ignore was the rules-based edge we have spent our careers on. The One Fund combines the long-term track record of Auspice with strategic allocations to tactical active and passive global equity and fixed income.
While the combination of the One Fund is new, what hasn’t changed is our core momentum and trend-following strategies wrapped in disciplined risk management. There is nothing new here per se. Same old. We are just combining the ideas at the optimal weight to provide upside opportunity and downside protection. The fund has been seeded by a series of institutional, family office and high-net-worth investors.
While there are various interpretations on “something blue”, we consider this to be an implied rarity. Bringing on a new employee is a lot like a marriage; exciting, scary and contractual. Next month we will introduce you to our latest team-member addition, Brennan Basnicki. Brennan comes to us with a rare background that aligns very well having spent time as an entrepreneur, with a major US Teachers’ pension focused on our segment, and a large and long-standing CTA competitor manager.
