FXCM’s Sentiment Aggressive
Forex Managed Funds
Up Over 25%
New York, September 26, 2007
After a successful launch, FXCM's Sentiment Aggressive Managed Funds are up over 25% in its first two months since inception. (www.fxcm.com)*
Clients requested a more aggressive and highly leveraged version of FXCM's popular Sentiment Fund, (recently included in the Barclay Group's Traders Indices,) so FXCM introduced its Sentiment Aggressive Fund in July of 2007.** These funds are divided into two strategic components. The first component leverages FXCM's proprietary Speculative Sentiment Index (SSI) which gauges market sentiment to identify break out and trend trading opportunities. This is complemented by an approach that uses sophisticated technical strategies to harvest tops and bottoms in range bound markets.
This type of fund has found favor amongst many investors who are starting to recognize foreign exchange as a viable alternative asset class, worthy of an allocation in any diversified portfolio. The benefits of which can be seen by the performance of the FXCM Sentiment Funds in July and August versus the turmoil most equities and bond funds experienced over the same period.
