The Solas M Series Global Portfolio posted a very impressive performance in the 1st Quarter 2012. Boosted by a strong start to the equities market the portfolio exhibited strong profitability consistency across the trend following and mean reversion strategies employed.

Working off the base 0.50% risk per trade the portfolio returned 11.0% over Q1. For the more conservative trader who wished to reduce risk exposure the Q1 returned an extremely healthy 5.5% on 0.25% risk per trade whereas the trader/investor who wish to work their capital a little harder saw them reap the benefits with in excess of 16% gains.

The trend following strategy capitalised on the early bullish price action in the markets at the start of the year with some smashing trades captured, the highlights being the existing QQQ’s trade which is in place since Jan 4 as well the EPI & SLV trades in Jan-Feb.

In the last 4-6 weeks the market follow through to the upside slow down somewhat and the ensuing consolidation has seen the mean reversion strategy become more active with outstanding consistency with a 91% win/loss ratio on trades executed on the Solas M Series Global Portoflio live tracking account. Overall the 64% strike rate is very consistent with the trend following returns coming in at a very respectable 38% win/loss ratio.
