Managed Forex Account

Interest in the FX market has grown exponentially as the market has opened to individual investors over the last few years. Many have realized the potential for diversification and the possibility of outsized returns that were previously available only to a select few. Yet while the FX market has long been a source of income for financial institutions and high-net worth individuals, unfortunately returns on many individual investor accounts have struggled to match those of more established participants.

The FXCM Managed Accounts Program is now offering the Galaxy System Fund to address these issues. Investing in the Galaxy Fund allows you to utilize many unique advantages that the FXCM Managed Funds Program and Galaxy can provide:

1) Lower Costs: until now, fees and commissions paid by the individual investor for managed accounts in the FX market are higher than those of institutions and high-net work individuals. The Galaxy Fund leverages the 50,000+ currency trading accounts FXCM has serviced to pass along some of the best pricing available in the FX market. Moreover Galaxy Fund has low fees, with a monthly management of 0.1667% of funds under management, and a monthly performance fee of 20%.

2) Experience: FXCM has over 500 employees worldwide with traders and analysts from the world’s most recognized banks, such as UBS, JP Morgan Chase, Citibank, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, ABN Amro, and many more. The Galaxy System Fund has been selected by seasoned system trading professionals out of hundreds of systems that we have observed live.

3) Consistent Returns: While most currency trading managed funds rely on trend-following strategies, the Galaxy Fund is designed to exploit both ranging and trending markets. The system trades 5 different currency pairs across 5 different time frames, further increasing the diversification and limiting overdependence or overexposure on any one type of market condition. Moreover, the fund uses stop losses readily to limit losses. Historically, Galaxy has had modest drawdowns that are compensated by frequent months of modest positive returns and occasionally months of double digit returns. The maximum drawdowns on the backtests are small in comparison to the maximum returns.
