St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, August 13, 2006 --(
PR.com)-- Last Atlantis Capital Management, LLC (St. Thomas, USVI) announces the launch of The LACM Global Macro program within the Last Atlantis Master Fund. The program is a long/short, directional strategy structured to identify opportunities across US equity asset classes drawn from 36 sectors and 9 styleboxes. The manager seeks to deliver positive absolute returns through the use of a proprietary Institutional Participation Index.
Using over 40 touch points, the Index provides a rigorous assessment of asset classes and sectors to gauge the breadth of institutional investor participation in the US equity market. The manager quantifies the relative strength of the trend to produce an opinion of what may be occurring below the surface.
Long positions are taken in the strongest sector and stylebox when the Index is expanding; conversely, short market positions are taken in the weakest sectors and asset classes when the Index is contracting. Periods of expansion and contraction typically last 2 to 10 months.
LACM will access this program either through a managed account or through an investment into a fund.
