The fund applies a global macro strategy meaning, a hedge fund strategy that bases its holdings - such as long and short positions in equity, fixed income, currency, and futures markets – primarily on overall economic and political views of various countries (macroeconomic principles).
The model is a short-term volatility break-out driven system with multiple filters that applies strict risk management principles, all of which are thoroughly back-tested:
Filtering techniques are applied, to avoid trades with adverse risk/reward characteristics. While the filter’s goal is to capture profits, its selectiveness allows the system to enter markets only during periods when the risk/reward of a trade is heavily in the trade’s favour. The filter could even avoid trades with positive profit expectations if unacceptable risk characteristics exist.
Caveat Fund starts with a macroanalysis followed by a microanalysis.
Macroanalysis is a key factor in directing asset allocation. Bullish results are an indication that investment-worthy assets will be from the equities market. However, if the outlook is bleak, the allocation will shift from equities to more conservative investments such as fixed income and money markets.
Our trading base currency is US$ (United States Dollars) or other such currency as the directors shall determine from time to time. Investment statements are in US$.
Exchange rate fluctuations significantly influence global investment returns and we effectively use the short- and long-term trend fluctuations of these currencies to benefit investors. The fund’s currency deployment frequently differs from the geographic deployment of its equity selection.

Caveat Fund effectively applies exchange-traded derivatives to offer investors positive returns. In doing so, the fund purchases or sells exchange-traded derivatives, for example futures and options, if the analysis proves it to be in support of positive returns, consistent with the fund’s investment objective.
The main risk of investing is that the selected equities prices will decline if stock markets fall or fluctuate.
To reduce the risk the fund applies full expertise and mandate, maintaining a substantial level of hedging. Hedging strategies are most effective when over valuations in the market occur and vulnerability presents itself within the market. The manager’s actions are not limited which means that any number of hedging strategies may be applied however, the manager may also choose to close all current trading positions.
In combination with the hedging strategy, effective protection strategies are applied, as explained on the "Risk Management" tab below.
Caveat Fund Ltd. applies a variety of risk management strategies to protect initial capital and substantially minimize losses.
Trading in 45 carefully selected markets strikes the perfect balance. It is large enough to provide a diverse portfolio, yet small enough to maintain expertise and intimate understanding of each of the markets. This enables Caveat to render proper global exposure and diversity to capitalise on market conditions and generate value.
Caveat believes that a combination of human knowledge and skills, together with the unlimited power of algorithms that supply 24/7 research, charts, warnings, opportunities, etc. places us in the most favourable position to generate true value.
Markets fluctuate continuously and these fluctuations are at times unforeseen and sudden. This is the reason Caveat does not apply an indefinite “buy and hold” strategy. Once a selected stock or instrument reaches 30% of its determined goal the position is closed, and we pursue other opportunities. This is an extremely effective in minimising risk.
During extreme volatility or uncertainty, we close current positions in favour of more stable options.
Caveat offer dividends of 1.5% per quarter (Dec, March, June, Sept), thus 6% p/a, based on the fund value, as of the last day of the previous month.
This dividend is a risk-free allocation which lowers the investment risk by 42% p/a with a target of 15% p/a. Quarterly dividends are reinvested, until the investor instructs otherwise in writing.
Applying the price differences (not market fluctuations) between the different digital exchanges throughout the world, Caveat is able to offer risk-free enhancement to the investment performance.
