Crown Advisors International Ltd.
 Crown Advisors International Ltd. Investment ManagersFinance Crown's approach concentrates on a select portion of the marketplace of private and public companies, those expected to show rapid growth in sales and earnings, demonstrate superior management capability and possess the opportunity for above-average profitability. Primary emphasis is placed on companies with outstanding growth potential, which are positioned as beneficiaries of dynamic geographic, demographic or technologic change. Emphasis is also focused on industries with strong and accelerating demand patterns or defensible niches that offer the prospect of high profitability and sustainable revenue growth. Management must have unquestioned integrity, proven experience and the ability and motivation to develop the company into a significant enterprise along with a meaningful ownership interest. Qualified investments should have access to sufficient financial resources to exploit their opportunities, and ideally have a potential ROE adequate to fund or secure future capital requirements. | Directeur en chef des Investissements | 31/01/2011 |
Forefront Capital Management LLC
 Forefront Capital Management LLC Investment ManagersFinance Forefront Capital Management seeks to provide superior, risk-adjusted, non-correlated returns by identifying the highest alpha generators among established portfolio managers with less than $250 million under management. The Forefront Established Manager Fund (EMF) is a multi-strategy fund that seeks superior risk-adjusted, non-correlated returns. In managing the fund, Forefront Capital Management strives to add value through continuous due diligence, real-time transparency and dynamic rebalancing. EMF is a multi-manager fund that allocates proprietary and third-party capital to established portfolio managers. Managers run pools of capital through separately managed accounts. Forefront Capital Management employs continuous due diligence and a rigorous selection process which is overseen by their investment committee. The firm's Forefront Portfolio Manager Partnership Platform (PMPP) is designed to remove the burden of operating a firm providing true autonomy to entrepreneurial asset managers by allowing them to focus on idea generation, portfolio management and alpha creation. Through their Global ETF Strategies (GES), Forefront Capital Management seeks to provide equity-like returns over a market cycle with less volatility through the execution of a proprietary tactical strategy that utilizes ETFs as the exclusive investment vehicle. GES employs tactical asset allocation to make adaptive changes to portfolio construction in a timely manner. The strategy takes an active view of risk management that is based on the premise that while historical statistical information is helpful in understanding how the markets have traded historically; it is less useful when deploying capital in markets where information and assets flow at today's faster pace. GES addresses 3 critical issues: (1) systemic risk (2) diversification and (3) liquidity and transparency. The strategy focuses on understanding systemic risk and applies a proprietary investment process to mitigate risk by actively managing market exposures through the investment cycle. When high systemic risk is identified, decisions are made to reduce exposures to those markets and increase exposure in markets that demonstrate a lower risk profile. This process provides low volatility and competitive returns over the market cycle. The GES portfolio is unconstrained by asset class, market or sectors. IN managing this strategy, Forefront Capital Management takes an active and dynamic global investment approach with the objective of participating participate in opportunities that rapidly develop due to global changes affecting the capital markets. The firm requires no lock-up and they transact in securities that are liquid and transparent. | President | - |
