SEXTANT Inc.


Orientation and objective

Hedge Funds often have very specific strategies. For example the “market neutral” strategy, which aims to put a short position in front of each long position thus completely, canceling the market risk. For Sextant Inc. the strategy is, there is no strategy. The idea is simply that this fund can benefit from all of our “savoir-faire”. We invest with the greatest care, with our only limitation being our domain of competence. We wish to have all the necessary tools at our disposal, but no obligation to have to use them.

    We can thus :
  • Strongly concentrate the portfolio, up to 30% on one share, and up to 90% for three stocks . If we find our three exceptional companies which are greatly undervalued, with an asset value which protects us from all long term losses, why invest in other stocks?
  • Sell short, either because the share is too expensive, or in arbitrage with another less expensive share but having a market risk that we do not wish to take.
  • Buy funds, convertible securities or raw materials through the listed ETF’s.
  • Buy or sell « Index Futures »
  • Buy or sell « Index Options »
  • Generate a motivating effect, up to 300% of the net assets of the fund. Normally, this isn’t our style, but a little boosting effect in exceptional situations could be interesting. In particular for operations with arbitrage risks.
  • And, of course, invest in any stock market in the world.

Sextant Inc. will in no case be a fund covered in permanence. On the other hand, we do not wish to make an aggressive fund, but rather a very safe one. Similar to the style of Sextant Grand Large, but with more freedom, surely more volatility, and maybe better performances. The management philosophy will be strictly identical to that of our other funds and the values will be in large part, the same.
