An overview of Investment Strategies
● The investment procedure is quantified, systematized and research-driven, and aims to identify explanatory variables that have the power of prediction in the market through its risk-driven procedure. The investment procedure is based on statistical rather than fundamental analysis.
● The strategy constantly monitors the daily price fluctuations and other financial metrics and uses this information to decide the daily long/short position adjustment through quantitative methods that maximizes profit
● Starwint uses the multi-factor neutral strategy to hedge risks, a method tested by many years of research that is also used by China’s securities and stock index futures markets

● Objective
We adopt scientific methods in exploring and organizing trading strategies that strive to increase risk-adjusted returns and maintain low long term correlation with other investments.
Risk Control
1.Initially, 100 risk-independent strategies are simultaneously executed with equal fund distribution, and the system then adjusts strategy utilization according to market conditions and results.
2.Less than 30% of the security deposit is allocated to the trading fund, minimizing risk of loss of capital.
3.The automated trading system is vigilantly monitored by human staff, who will minimize any possible loss in case of technical difficulties.
Risk Control Workflow
How the Trend Tracking Strategy Operates in a Sample Market
● The trend tracking strategy performs best during a rising or falling market trend. But if there is a trend reversal or consolidation, the trend tracking strategy will perform poorly.
● Different futures products which have little connection with each other always demonstrate different trends at any specific time.
Disclaimer: The above graphic of the trend tracking strategy profit/loss values may not be representative of all market situations.
Risk Diversification across Markets
*Graphics depict differing market trend of several domestic futures over time
● We aim for the greatest risk diversification by trading futures contracts in markets following different trends in a given period of time.
● We adjust the number of positions according to the intensity of trading signals.
● Our goal is to avoid big fluctuations and obtain high, risk-adjusted return.

Bu investing under this, or any plan, you are subject to and responsible for certain risks, including but not limited to:
1.Market risks: Changes in market conditions and the influence of many factors can induce price fluctuations in securities and futures which may create potential risks for assets und the Starwint plan.
2.Management risks: Performance of investment products are subject to human judgment of asset managers as they make decisions based on relevant information, economic trends, and price trends of securities and futures.
3.Liquidity risks: Insufficient market liquidity can cause a delay in the low cost adjustment of the investment plan (i.e. adding or reducing property under plan), which may decrease planned return (due to an insufficient/excessive amount of cash).
4.Financial model risks: The effectiveness of financial models may be compromised due to market changes (including but not limited to fluctuations in liquidity or correlation as well as changes in policies and regulations) as well as more technical factors.
5.Reation time risk: Trend tracking strategies cannot guarantee an accurate reaction in a timely manner during all periods of fluctuations in market price and general market volatility.
6.Special risks of futures investment:
Leverage risks: In futures trading, the change in profit or less due to price fluctuations may be multiplied via leverage.
Rate of fluctuation risks: As the amount of spot goods in the bulk commodity market is jointly decided by suppliers and buyers and influenced by a volatile macro-economic environment, the price of bulk commodities has a higher fluctuation rate and greater price uncertainty and risk.
Risks brought by supplemented payment of security deposits and enforced position closing: If the market trend is unfavorable to the participant of futures trading or the proportion of the security deposit of futures is raised and the balance of the futures account is insufficient, supplementary payment of security deposits is required. If the participant of futures investment fails to add a due amount of security deposit within the appointed time, part of the futures positions will be closed to make up for the deficiency of account balance. The fund allocation order sent by asset managers will be carried out by trust fund banks, where there are longer operation procedures, and correspondingly, added risks. Furthermore, if the total amount of positions of a futures contract held by the participant of futures trading exceeds the limitation stipulated in trading rules, the futures exchange may enforce closing of the positions he/she holds and confiscate returns.
