OUR EDGES
EXPECTED RETURN
Our algorithmic arbitrage strategies stand out of the crowd because:
•They provide stable high rate of return with tiny draw -downs and accordingly very high Sharpe and Sortino
ratio.
•They are market neutral, which means they are free from directional position loss risk.
•They have low correlation with the stock market and show the best results on highly volatile market, which
usually happens on market drop.
However, the projected average annual return of our strategies is 13% -17% in USD.
Alteus fund is a great alternative to bonds and bank deposits, excelling them in rate of return,
also it is a reliable investment free from issuer default risk.
PLATFORM
OUR PARTNERS
Alteus fund works on ITI Funds platform which is a part of ITI Group company.
Among Alteus Asset Management Company partners there are:
•Da Vinci Capital, a leading independent private equity fund that operates in Russia and other Eurasian Economic
Union (EEU) countries;
•IT-Invest , a top-5 broker on MOEX(Moscow Exchange);
The world of asset managers employing quantitative models, algorithmic, market making and high frequency
trading strategies similar to ours is quite narrow and is a hard to get into.
Alteus fund may lead you there.

FUND INCEPTION
** Draw-down was a force-major event: Sberbank perfidiously changes dividends for 2016, however recently management had promised not to change dividend yield since the
previous year. As a result a one-time loss was acquired in arbitrage pair Sberbank futures vs. Sberbank stock. The probability of the recurrence of such event is estimated as
extremely low.

CROSS-EXCHANGE
ARBITRAGE
SPOT-FUTURES
ARBITRAGE
The investment strategy of Alteus is classified as systematic arbitrage. Exchange traded instruments often
demonstrate price deviations (or inefficiencies) which are eventually revert back to equilibrium. The mispricing is
usually ultra short-term in existence and arbitrage strategies aim to identify and exploit as many of those
inefficiencies as possible.
Arbitrage does not imply any directional bets and thus the portfolio performance has insignificant correlation to
the broader market, moreover, increased volatility on declining market creates more arbitrage opportunities.
ARBITRAGE ACROSS
INDICES FUTURES
The result of arbitrage strategy is a function of the quality of trading algorithms, software and the robustness of
the investment process. Alteus employs entirely systematic data -driven investment process based on high-
frequency trading algorythms. The investment advisory team applies sophisticated quantitative modeling
techniques to data analysis and development of trading models.
