Risk Controlled FTSE/Xinhua China Account

A Risk Controlled Equity (RiCE) managed account program

This strategy offers investors the opportunity to match the FXI's annual returns up to 30% with a targeted downside of -15%.

Investment Objective

The RiCE managed account program is designed to offer investors the opportunity to meet, and over time exceed, the FTSE/Xinhua China Index (FXI) return. By using fixed income securities and simple call options in a managed account for each client, we focus on limiting potential loss to 15% over a 12 month period even if the market loss is over 15%. On the other hand, if the market gains over 30% a year, the maximum gain will likely be 30%. If the market return is between -15% and +30%, we expect that the account value will closely track the index.

Over time, since the portfolio avoids significant losses (greater than 15%), it measurably out-performs buying and holding the index. This out-performance is also achieved with significantly lower volatility, meaning you can own the account and sleep well at night.
