Our commitment to distinctive and personalized services is evidenced in what we provide:
   
Portfolio Management.
Axis Global Management builds alternative investment portfolios based upon specific client needs and objectives. The primary target is consistent positive annualized returns and a profit-to-loss ratio above 3:1. Secondary targets include reduced correlations with the client’s existing traditional portfolio, the use of highly liquid markets, and the diversification across multiple Commodity Trading Advisors (CTAs) as well as market sectors. All of this is done through the identification and analysis of hundreds of managed futures programs with regards to historical track-records, trading strategies, sectors targeted, forecasted long-term performance, and a multiplicity of other factors. For a sample prospectus, please contact Axis Global Management.
