I read about this fund and its founder in European Business magazine. Very successful system trading fund: http://www.quadrigafund.com/english_new/default.asp
It is good to know they openly admit using Tech Analysis and Trend-following system. Many other funds , including Peter Lynch, Sorso, claimed they didn't use TA. If a prof. fund could get 30% per year, a home trader like me should be very satisifed with such result.
I worked with a guy who was let go by our old firm and ended up at Quadriga. Top notch chart wiz..if he;s any indication of the firm as a whole, they gotta be pretty good.
One of the Schindler Fund's investors is also a Quadriga investor and he has been very happy with them. Quadriga has been in the press lately because they have registered a hedge fund to sell to retail investors in the US. (Most hedge funds are unregistered and, thus, limited to 100 investors.) It takes a lot of time, effort, and money to register a fund.
It has less than 10 years records. Is it reliable? LTCM also had 3 profitable years before it crashed.
caveat emptor...as always. Having said that, I don't think it is fair to compare Quadriga to LTCM. These guys are a very small (relative) fund using VERY different investing tactics and to my knowledge are not using massive (60X) leverage. Still, the probability of a blow out is always there.
