We make continuous use of automated, algorithmic trading, using algorithms programmed to our trading specification to take decisions on what to buy and sell and when to do so. This is sophisticated financial trading technology, and our team has a high degree of expertise in refining and optimising the performance of our algorithms.
Alongside our algorithmic trading, our traders take manual decisions on the purchase and sale of assets, placing the trades themselves via market or pending orders. Expert trades of this kind play a central role in ensuring outstanding performance, and are informed by meticulous analysis and research using data from our world-class research partners.
The 888 Asset Management portfolio comprises four asset classes.
In hedging and managing risk, we make tactical use of mainstream equities. Trading on major exchanges as appropriate, our managers hold robust and well-researched stocks capable of achieving both good growth and income, as a counter to the inherently more turbulent movements evidenced in both crypto and Forex markets.
Commodities (eg. energy, precious metals, grains etc.) gives us flexibility in optimising portfolio performance. As commodities will generally move in opposition to equity markets, and may respond swiftly to global events, their use affords us both increased flexibility and security.
The portfolio makes continuous use of the Forex markets, Forex providing an excellent tool with which to manage risk. Our team again boasts many years of high-level experience in trading currencies, and we trade all major pairs, selecting opportunities appropriate to the portfolio objective at that time.
The experience of our team dates back to the earliest days of crypto trading, and we trade a broad range of currencies. These are, essentially, ‘digital assets’ that use decentralized control rather than central banking systems. Ownership records are stored in database ledgers, with strong cryptography used to secure transaction records and to verify trades.
