September 2008
"What do you get when you combine the resources of several bright investment engineers with a managed futures legend and the resources of his 35-year old institution? Something special.

"Short-term trading has no ironclad definition, though there are some fairly clear differentiating properties between short-term traders and their more common, long-term counterparts. Typically, short-term trading is defined by strategies that hold positions for 10 days or less. More recently, some short-term trading systems have begun to consist partially or entirely of intra-day strategies."

"DNA is life; it contains the blueprint for the creation of virtually all known living organisms. Genes are segments of DNA that act as fundamental building blocks, and hence maintaining the integrity of such genetic instruction sets is paramount to the health of an organism (or "fitness"). In much the same way that inbreeding can reduce genetic robustness and, thereby, increase susceptibility to illness and disease, an insufficiently diversified portfolio may be subject to an increased likelihood of uncharacteristically poor performance under a particular set of market conditions."
