Asia-based quantitative FX trading firm Amasis Capital and its marketing partner Signal Capital Management are intensifying their marketing efforts through new hires and institutional presentations in China, the US and the Middle East.
Amasis, which presently manages around USD220m, aims to at least double that by the end of 2010.
It says several new investors are now considering commitments in the USD10m to USD25m range, and one Middle East investor is considering a +USD100m commitment.
Amasis, which trades unleveraged spot FX on a proprietary algorithmic platform, returned 1.35 per cent before fees in February and 6.37 per cent YTD.
