Hedge Fund Awards 2016

http://www.acquisition-intl.com/hedge-fund-awards 104 ~ Best Portfolio Management Firm - Quebec & Best New North American Hedge Fund: Rivemont Absolute Return Class F Rivemont Investments is a portfolio management firm lead by Martin Lalonde, MBA, CFA. Registered in Canada, Rivemont Investments is responsible for managing the “Rivemont Absolute Return” hedge fund that uses an innovative strategy based on technical analysis and trend-following to provide a positive return regardless of market conditions. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide investors with positive returns in all market conditions while maintaining a low level of correlation to traditional asset classes such as equities and bonds. The fund will invest based on the premise that the price of an asset is not always equal to its intrinsic value, since this price is influenced by a number of factors, including several cognitive biases on the part of investors. Since these biases are known, and repeat themselves over time, it is possible to make investment decisions based on these recurring behaviours. The fund uses momentum base strategies including technical analysis, trend monitoring and sectorial rota- tions to take long and short positions, on breakouts and breakdowns. The manager uses a top-down approach by establishing first which sectors have the highest/ lowest growth potential to subsequently be able, within these sectors, to select specific securities.. This approach means that the fund will look to enter a position at the beginning of a new trend and exit when this trend is broken. Since its inception in early 2015, the Rivemont Absolute Return Fund has one of the best performance in the hedge fund industry, including a 17% gain in Q3 2015.
