Execution Management If market-neutral strategy is selected, delta hedging is applied to the equities portfolio By eliminating the market exposure (beta), market out- performance becomes the alpha earned for the portfolio In executing equities buy and sell orders, quantitative and adaptative execution algorithm is employed to maximize VWAP

Risk Management Quantitative risk control measures such as Value-at-risk (VaR) are real-time monitored Portfolio with risk exceeding acceptable level will be scrutinized and appropriate action will be taken to bring risk exposure back to accepted level Up-to-date risk reports are always online and available to management team for review and actions, as needed

Rebalancing Market exposure is constantly reviewed and monitored using advanced reporting tools When certain exposure parameters have essentially shifted, dynamic rebalancing techniques will be put into action To lock in alpha, dynamic rebalancing will strive to adjust hedging proportion and execute equities buy (at low) and sell (at high) transactions
