What is a multi-strategy managed program?
FXCM multi-strategy programs are noted for their potential for high returns, low minimum investment, and no lock-up period. Each program is composed of several different strategies geared toward taking advantage of diverse market conditions. The strategies are proprietary, and automatically executed by computerized systems. The goal of these programs is to provide the highest possible return on investment while minimizing the amount of risk.**
What is an enhanced index managed program?
FXCM Enhanced Index Programs enable you to invest in the overall direction of a single currency against a basket of other currencies. There are bear and bull programs for two different currencies: the US dollar and Japanese yen.
If you have a strong view of a currency's direction, but do not have the time or interest in trading, FXCM Index programs provide a simple, straightforward method to invest.
The standard way of investing in the overall strength of the dollar is through a futures index or ETF. However, this is a passive approach, which does not try to optimize returns based on market conditions.
FXCM Dollar Index Programs are enhanced index programs. They use proprietary trading strategies to provide the potential for a larger profit, if you have invested in the correct direction, and to reduce any potential losses if your prediction is wrong.**
