WHY MANAGED FOREX

Self-trading currencies are at best a very difficult proposition. Many forex investors do not have the time, experience or desire to trade in the forex market themselves. Being able to follow the market movement 24 hours a day is a very essential part of the trading. Managed Accounts are created for investors with risk capital who do not necessarily want to trade on their own.

In a managed account you own the currencies that make up your portfolio. Unlike mutual funds or hedge funds which commingle your funds with other investors, a managed account is in your name and all or part of your funds can be redeemed within one day. The managed account only holds your currencies and allows you to follow a cost-basis for each of the currencies in your account. Based on your long-term goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, you can select a professional currency manager with a managed account that can actively manage your portfolio. Whether you're interested in a conservative or aggressive program, you will find the trader who will suit your risk parameters.

The advantages of a managed currency account as a component of an investor's overall investment portfolio.

Ability to Profit in Rising or Declining Markets. The performance of a currency portfolio has historically been non-correlated with that of traditional equity and fixed income investments. Unlike equity and fixed income managers, a currency hedge fund manager employs both long and short positions in its currency portfolio to profit under any market conditions. FX Price believes that customer should be aware of the risks associated with over-the-counter, spot Forex. Forex trading is highly speculative in nature which can mean currency prices may become extremely volatile. Forex trading is highly leveraged, since low margin deposits normally are required, an extremely high degree of leverage is obtainable in foreign exchange trading. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited. You may sustain a total loss of your funds. Since the possibility of losing your entire cash balance does exist, speculation in the Forex market should only be conducted with risk capital you can afford to lose which will not dramatically impact your lifestyle.

Global Diversification. The performance of equity and fixed income investments in one country is often highly correlated to the performance of equity and fixed income investments in other countries. As a result, global portfolios composed solely of equity and fixed income investments lack full diversification, even if they are geographically dispersed. Investing in Currencies gives investors access to markets beyond equity and fixed income investments, providing more complete diversification and a reduction in portfolio risk.

Reduce Portfolio Risk While Enhancing Returns. When combined with an investor's existing portfolio of equity and fixed income instruments, the Global Currency Program reduces the volatility and risk of that portfolio while enhancing long-term returns.

Although returns are far from guaranteed professional hedge fund managers tend to out perform individual speculators by their deployment of disciplined money management techniques, and systematic trading approaches. Professional hedge funds also tend to use their leverage more judiciously thus avoiding sudden catastrophic losses.
