KIS ASIA LONG SHORT FUND CAYMAN

Investment Philosophy

We believe financial markets will tend towards equilibrium over the long term; however over the short to medium term, inefficiencies will create mispricing. We seek to identify, react quickly and take advantage of these situations when we identify catalysts to support the closing of this mispricing. We believe Equities as an asset class provides the opportunity to generate alpha on the back of inefficiencies that exist due to the diversity of market participants pursuing differing agendas. In our opinion investors approach their investment decisions with a bias based upon fundamentally incorrect analysis.

Investment Objective

The KIS Asia Long Short Cayman Fund is a catalyst focused fund whose objective is to generate absolute returns with low volatility and correlation to other asset classes. Trade selection and portfolio management are based on three distinct principals of: Liquidity, Transparency and Risk Management. KIS Capital looks to build a portfolio of ‘winning’ ideas with an identifiable and imminent catalyst and hedge unwanted market risk.
