Result:
Result:
Our distinctive advantage is the combination of a Top Down Global Macro overlay with a Bottom Up quantitative strategy.
Our research over the years has produced original momentum indicators that are employed in the quantitative models. These indicators are self adaptive to market volatility and use multi-frequency analysis. They provide trend identification signals that are more reliable than known indicators.

This dynamic use of fundamental and quantitative tools gives GRY an edge in generating returns in all kinds of market environments.

AnalysisMacro Economic Model.
• We assign a ranking to each country looking at country fundamentals, distinguishing between Developed and Emerging markets. We then rank each country markets based on relative strength against the Global MSCI Index.
• We also include bonds, commodities and foreign exchange rates in the macroeconomic strategy.
Sector Model.
• Each sector is ranked based on valuations, relative strength and proprietary algorithms.
• The sector rank is the basis for overweight, normal weight or underweight of sectors in the portfolio.
04/10/23 Strictly Confidential 7
AnalysisLong portfolio.
• We use a quantitative model to screen stocks in each Sector based on their Fair Value to Price ratio. We combine data from multiple sources and use third party independent analysis on more than 7,000 U.S. listed global stocks.
• Stocks are ranked on the basis of their discount to Fair Value. Only the top 10% enter into our Momentum model to be ranked again (about 700 stocks).
• We take the best ranking stocks for each sector and we conduct our own quantitative and qualitative research on their market fundamental and technical factors. We also consider Institutional ownership, flow of funds, growth and valuation of each portfolio candidate.
• We discuss our best picks within the Investment Committee and make the final selection.

Analysis• Short portfolio
• Based on our sector model we look at the sectors that are out of favour and look for stocks that are showing an excessive valuation relative to their Fair Value.
• We also use a bottom up approach and look at stocks with high debt to equity ratio, deteriorating fundamentals, and deteriorating quick and cash ratios.
• At this point short candidates are ranked accordingly to our momentum model.

Analysis• Hedging Model.
• Based on an algorithm that evaluates the Stock Market against risk free investment instruments and bonds yields.
• Based on multi-frequency proprietary Market Barometers Low/Medium Frequency and Medium/High Frequency.
• Based on proprietary algorithms on the SP500/Nasdaq/Russell2000 indexes.
• Based on a dynamic and adaptive approach.
• Hedging can be achieved with the use of the most appropriate instruments including Stock Index Futures or Futures Options.

In order to dampen volatility a model has been implemented to hedge the portfolio in case of sudden market adverse movements.
A single stock position cannot exceed 5% of the total portfolio or will face partial liquidation.
A single stock position is generally at the 1.5% level.
