Continuum launches equity strategies

Boutique firm Continuum Capital Management has announced the launch of three new Australian equity strategies to be benchmarked against the S&P/ASX 300.
The Core and Active strategies are long only and target 2 per cent and 4-5 per cent outperformance respectively. The Active Extension strategy is long-short and targets 8-10 per cent outperformance.
These new strategies are in addition to the long only benchmark unaware Aggressive strategy that Continuum has managed since June 2009.
Continuum cofounder Brett McElwee said the strategies represented a more “nimble approach” in comparison to “stagnated” mainstream quantitative investment processes.
Continuum is one of six boutique fund management firms partnered by Ascalon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Westpac.
Ascalon chief executive officer Andrew Landman said he welcomed Continuum’s fresh approach to active quantitative investing.
Landman described the boutique as having “innovative yet disciplined investing strategies” which take advantage of high frequency event triggers to enable portfolios to move quickly into and out of positions where appropriate.
