About AIS
AIS Capital Management, L.P. (“AIS”), is an investment management firm focused on absolute-return strategies in global financial markets. Relying on a thorough understanding of the driving forces behind price action in global markets, the investment team has developed and implemented discretionary and systematic global macro strategies that seek to generate alpha over multiple market cycles while minimizing risk.
AIS stands for “Applied Intelligence Strategies,” a term for computer programs that combine the best aspects of sound investment principles with the strict disciplines of mathematics.
Independent and well-researched. AIS manages client portfolios based on the principle that successful investing often requires independent thinking to develop appropriate investment strategies. We base our decisions on extensive analysis of global macroeconomic factors and asset valuations, and we draw on decades of investment experience.
Fundamentally driven. AIS’s investment team studies fundamental macroeconomic and intermarket indicators to develop its portfolio views. Its Multi-Asset Allocation Portfolio programs employ a longer-term, discretionary approach, while the Frontera programs follow a systematic interpretation of shorter-term economic fundamentals. In each of its programs, AIS leverages its understanding of the enduring, globally applicable fundamental relationships that impact asset market returns.
Highly liquid and scalable. AIS only invests in highly liquid instruments that trade on major exchanges.
Transparent and intelligible. In addition, our investment programs are highly transparent. We do not use “black-box” systems, but rather our investment methodologies track logical, fundamental relationships that hold true over multiple market cycles. AIS takes a consultative approach with its clients, providing a detailed explanation of its investment process and views. We believe clients should thoroughly understand our portfolio management decisions and the global macroeconomic outlook that we anticipate during each step of the market cycle.
Flexible and opportunistic. Markets have changed dramatically over the last several decades. Since 2008 in particular, markets have become more highly correlated, and coordinated global monetary policy has heavily influenced market behavior. The ability to move nimbly amongst non-traditional market sectors has become increasingly important. AIS has the advantage of being a smaller firm with great flexibility. We may respond opportunistically to changing market environments. Furthermore, as an independent, privately held firm, AIS does not face the liquidity pressures associated with extended lines of credit.
AIS maintains registrations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") as an investment advisor and with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) as a Commodity Trading Advisor ("CTA") and Commodity Pool Operator ("CPO") with the "Forex Firm" and "Swap Firm" designations, and is a member of the National Futures Association ("NFA").
