Asymmetry Asset Management

Asymmetry Asset Management We represent a new wave of dynamic asset managers that target absolute returns. We are in opposition to fixed strategies that track benchmarks.

Investment Thesis

We call ourselves Asymmetry for three fundamental reasons:
(1) We seek asymmetric risk/reward investment profiles (meaning: we position ourselves for an infinite upside opportunity and a defined downside risk that can be hedged; providing a greater margin of safety),
(2) we suspect significant risk in fixed strategy funds over time and the associated cost of portfolio diversif

ication in the rapidly changing and volatile global financial markets, and
(3) we target absolute market returns. What do we aim to achieve? In an environment where equity market returns are negative or below money market rates we target 10% plus p.a. returns; and

When equity market returns perform better than money market rates we aim to outperform the equity market. While we believe this is possible, it may not be a likely outcome given the need to hedge our positions. We do this to protect the growth and lock in profits. Specifically, it is where the risk of a surprise in the market breaches a level with which we are not comfortable. Therefore, this may translate into returns below the market index performance, for example, during periods toward the end of a strong bull market rally.

BTC update: Banging through resistance!
It now needs to hold this level and consolidate but all this action is positive for an upward trend for the rest of the year or at the very least market consolidation. While this happens if regulation can be introduced with new projects going mainstream then long term very positive.

BTCUSD Update: There is clearly some consolidation occurring just below the long term upward trend line. The range is 6000 -7500. A break above would look to 9250 and below as we have said before would open support levels at intervals of 500 down to the 3000 level.

BTC Update: Next stop 6000, then next support levels are pretty much in USD500 intervals all the way to 3000. If we brea...

BTC Update:
Next stop 6000, then next support levels are pretty much in USD500 intervals all the way to 3000. If we break 2000 then we are facing a 2-3 year winter. Price is very sick now and could go anywhere up or down... bears have won the day on the fundamentals so sentiment is shocking... Let's just let the haters love to hate the Blockchain - there is a lot of this bitter energy out there. Keep holding the vision if you have the strength!

BTC update: BTC/USD now testing the resistance level of 9,250 after bouncing off 7,500 level.

BTC update: the break below 9,250 is not good. 7,500 is the next critical level. If it does restest previous lows in the long term upward trend it cannot record a low below 6,000 otherwise it will reinstate a long term downward trend and thereby break the long term upward trend.

update: We are seeing a breakout of the recent downtrend on a weekly close. Very positive for a move to 13,000 but we need to see 11,800 broken before that. This move now puts us in a sideways pattern. Always great to do away with the downward trend lines.

continues to dance with the short term downward trend resistance. This is being helped by stronger fundamentals in the Blockchain space as projects gain momentum. Furthermore, volatility in the global financial markets and a shaky USD is adding to the underpin of BTC.
