Klaver Partners

Quant Asset Management

Quant Asset Management launched two funds in April 2004, Qam Global Equities Fund, and Qam Asian Equities Fund. Both funds are based on the same quantitative equity model which identifies a portfolio of stocks that on an average monthly basis outperform their benchmarks by 2-4%. Key convictions underlying the funds’ strategy are that: share prices are mainly driven by earnings and valuations, markets are semi-efficient, and quantitative models need to be dynamic. The model is based on a multitude of factors that are derived from a lengthy screening process and academic research. In addition, the model has been back tested extensively with exceptional results.

Citadel Value Fund

The Citadel Value Fund is a global, long-only, equity fund, using a disciplined deep value investment strategy and bottom-up stock picking. The Fund seeks to identify and invest in financially healthy companies whose shares are deeply undervalued. Underlying the deep value investment strategy is the belief that a company's value is based on fundamental factors such as cash flow, balance sheet and management, rather than short term stock price valuations or stock market developments. The Fund uses extensive bottom-up research to determine the intrinsic value of a stock. In addition, the Fund follows a strict pricing discipline to determine the optimum time/value to buy and sell. The Citadel Value Fund aims to build wealth in a steady, consistent way by generating good, long-term, absolute returns, while minimizing the risk of permanent capital loss.

The Citadel Value Fund started trading in February 2002 and is registered both with the Luxembourg and Dutch Financial Authorities.
