Executive Summary

EFFICIENT DIVERSIFIED FUND, SPC - ALPHA III SEGREGATED PORTFOLIO Strategy Overview: Alpha III's investment approach blends momentum-based trading strategies with diversifying managers that help minimize drawdowns and improve overall return characteristics. To do this, a core exposure to systematic trend following strategies is maintained (to deliver the return of the managed futures industry), complemented by diversifying strategies that help improve risk-adjusted returns without compromising the desirable return characteristics of CTAs (e.g., non-correlation with equity beta and a propensity to have strong performance during periods of economic turmoil).

The investment strategy is achieved by identifying the very best managers in the managed futures space, balancing the portfolio across return drivers and risk factors and managing the portfolio actively for volatility and risk.
