Since the introduction of the EURO in 1999 there has been a surge in the volume of Foreign Exchange traded globally. This trend is projected to continue as transaction costs and margins contract and technology allows more entrants to trade systematically and cost effectively.

The impact of this is that FX itself has been firmly established as an asset class in its own right alongside Equities, Bonds and Commodities, Credit and their respective sub-classes.

The supply of liquidity in the market, the potential for attractive returns and the low correlations to other asset classes has proliferated this growth. Hedge Fund growth in this arena has been exceptional and has led to the need for more traditional asset managers to enter the market and invest a proportion of funds under management to FX.

New sub-asset classes within FX have been developed and can be numerous. New strategies are being formulated which attempt to take advantage of market trends, fundamentals, volatility, short term FX movements, and yield capture. The expansive nature of the market allows us at KeerFX to diversify our approach in order to create improved returns for our clients.

Diversification through money managers with different approaches and styles pursuing different strategies will ultimately enhance return over a period of time. We believe that this will result in our clients being able to benefit and improve the returns of their overall investment portfolio.
