About Zest Phoenix Strategy Summary
Formed in 2013, Zest Trading was created to fill a clear market need for a
professional bridge between high net worth individuals, institutional investors
and high yield traders. Established with the intention to deliver a true sense of
partnership, Zest Trading offers our clients risk management overview, market
insight and performance monitoring. We offer a managed account service to
high net worth Individuals, who target above average returns on their
investments, whilst maintaining a risk managed environment that supports
both growth and sustainability.
Our primary focuses are the Margin and physical Foreign Exchange markets.
With more than 25 years of experience trading Foreign exchange, our traders
have seen both crisis and prosperity take their toll on the global currency
markets. This has helped them to develop the market overview which they use
to their benefit every trading day.
Zest Trading has recently extended our trading to additional asset classes such
as: Commodities, equities and futures. We believe that adding additional asset
classes will offer complimentary services to our clients.
At Zest Trading, our goal is to create long term unrivalled value for our
customers experience working the foreign exchange desk within the banking
industry. Previous experience trading and risk management make the team well
equipped to manage the investment process.
The Phoenix trading strategy is a combination of 2 discretionary manual
strategies; one targeting short term trading opportunities and the other
targeting medium term price movements (3+hrs). To achieve this, the manager
employs a systematic approach, designed to perform across diverse market
environments. The process combines three decision making tools: a Systematic
Technical Strategy, a Systematic Fundamental Strategy and a Market
Information Strategy.
During periods of higher volatility, the Systematic Technical Strategy analyzes
chart patterns across multiple time frames, whereby shorter-term patters are
evaluated using a series of proprietary trading algorithms. The Systematic
Fundamental Strategy is employed during periods of lower volatility and
analyzes central bank policy and action, global and regional economic outlooks
and general market sentiment to reflect the market views on the relative
attractiveness of currencies versus the US dollar thereby realizing the inherent
benefits of the trade. The Market Information Strategy leverages the experience
and global network of the trading team to understand the behavior of other
market participants to reduce time in the market in-turn reducing exposure to
risk.
Once a trade is placed, the overall position size (leverage) and appropriate stop
loss and take profit levels are decided dependent on earlier proprietary analysis.
Exits are based upon statistical probabilities with an element of subjectivity
based upon the experience of the trading team. In most cases, scaling out of
positions is the method used.
The Phoenix strategy offers proprietary risk management in the strategic
application of technical analysis and uses fixed stops to limit downside risk. The
stop loss orders may be triggered by time lapse, price or volatility and are
maintained on all positions as all times while the portfolio is exposed.

DISCLAIMER
Investing in the foreign exchange (Forex) market, alternative investments, and other leveraged asset classes carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all
types of investors. Before deciding to invest in any type of alternative investment, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, length of investment and risk
appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to
lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor, who is familiar with these types
of trading if you have any doubts. Trading in these markets is speculative and may involve loss of principal; therefore funds placed under management should be risk
capital funds that if lost will not significantly affect one’s personal or financial well being. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully consider your financial
condition as to the suitability to your situation prior to making any investment or entering into any transaction. As an example, a margin deposit of $2,000 can control a
market value of approximately $100,000. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to
deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. We assume no responsibility for errors or inaccuracies in these materials. We do not warrant the accuracy or
completeness of the information, text or other items contained within these materials. We shall not be liable for any damages, including any loss that may result from
these materials. Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices, or other information which may be contained on this document is provided as general market
commentary, and does not constitute investment advice. The authors shall not accept liability for any loss or damage, including without limitation to, any loss of profit,
which may arise directly or indirectly from use of reliance on such information. All trades, patterns, charts, systems, etc., discussed in this document are for illustrative
purposes only and not to be construed as specific advisory recommendations.
In some cases, managed forex and commodity accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. You should therefore carefully study all
provided disclosure documents and forex and commodity interest trading before participating in any capacity, including the description of the principal risk factors
involved in this type of an alternative investment. Before you participate in an alternative investment you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular
contemplated transactions and ask the firm with which you intend to trade for details about the types of redress available in both your local and other relevant
jurisdictions. Account discrepancies often occur when tracking performance. These can sometimes vary significantly from one brokerage to another, based on the broker’s
technical structure, the underlying data feed the brokerage uses, how competitive their pricing is, their server time, and the commissions charged. All risk and
discrepancies are clearly identified in each of the program’s specific disclosure document. It should be strongly noted that past performance is never indicative of future
results.

Company Zest Trading Limited Phone: +41 435 081 071 Email: Invest@ZestTrading.com Website: www.ZestTrading.com Skype: Zest.Trading DISCLAIMER Investing in the foreign exchange (Forex) market, alternative investments, and other leveraged asset classes carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all types of investors. Before deciding to invest in any type of alternative investment, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, length of investment and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor, who is familiar with these types of trading if you have any doubts. Trading in these markets is speculative and may involve loss of principal; therefore funds placed under management should be risk capital funds that if lost will not significantly affect one’s personal or financial well being. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully consider your financial condition as to the suitability to your situation prior to making any investment or entering into any transaction. As an example, a margin deposit of $2,000 can control a market value of approximately $100,000. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. We assume no responsibility for errors or inaccuracies in these materials. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of the information, text or other items contained within these materials. We shall not be liable for any damages, including any loss that may result from these materials. Any opinions, news, research, analyses, prices, or other information which may be contained on this document is provided as general market commentary, and does not constitute investment advice. The authors shall not accept liability for any loss or damage, including without limitation to, any loss of profit, which may arise directly or indirectly from use of reliance on such information. All trades, patterns, charts, systems, etc., discussed in this document are for illustrative purposes only and not to be construed as specific advisory recommendations. In some cases, managed forex and commodity accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. You should therefore carefully study all provided disclosure documents and forex and commodity interest trading before participating in any capacity, including the description of the principal risk factors involved in this type of an alternative investment. Before you participate in an alternative investment you should inquire about any rules relevant to your particular contemplated transactions and ask the firm with which you intend to trade for details about the types of redress available in both your local and other relevant jurisdictions. Account discrepancies often occur when tracking performance. These can sometimes vary significantly from one brokerage to another, based on the broker’s technical structure, the underlying data feed the brokerage uses, how competitive their pricing is, their server time, and the commissions charged. All risk and discrepancies are clearly identified in each of the program’s specific disclosure document. It should be strongly noted that past performance is never indicative of future results.
