Blog Title: Fledgling Hedge Fund. RISK!!!

Welcome to our blog. We are using this platform to acquire further interest in our Private Fund and to provide on-going information as to what we are doing and how we are progressing in this challenging field as a Private Fund. Currently our status is that we are seeking capital in April and May of 2012. We will start trading our systems in June 2012. All results posted are theoretical gains from our systems that we track hourly. Real results could differ slightly due to slippage or other factors. Please contact lee@kinshipinvestments.com for further information.

It's been forever since my last blog...  We are so busy that we are going to keep this short and sweet.

We have been working deligently on our power point presentation with review after review from our internal panel of experts.  You can't be to careful or too prepared I always say.  Also, it doesn't help that we have to go through over 50,000 data entry points to confirm our results... ugh...

It appears we will be setting up our meetings with our investors come June.  It is tight, but we hope to start our Kinship Fund July 1st.  It would be a perfect time since it would be halfway through the year.

Here are our results up until April, 2012:

(Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results)

 Obviously there is much interest in what we are doing and we are very happy that we are on track with the current S&P 500 Benchmark and our own average results, but we are also doing better than many other indexes.

A colleage of mine reminded me to look at the TSX, the index of Canada.  It is down as I type -2.81% for the year to date.  Not great for many invested in this benchmark.  What about my favorite benchmark?  The Scotia Hedge Fund Index to the end of March is down 3.77% (or -0.27% on an equal weighted basis).

To make sure it is clear we are up 10.231% to the end of April 2012.  This is on track for our average earnings per year with standard deviations.

RISK!

I just love Helmut Weymar's (Commoditied Corporation): "The most dangerous people in the world are very smart traders that have never gotten their teeth kicked in"

We averagely use a maximum 25% of our Fund for our transactions.  This means we are currently seeking to invest half of our fund with a very low risk - non correlated investment.  Being who we are we cannot settle for less than inflation.  Who the hell would be happy with a 10 year treasury or a GIC?  It's called wealth destruction people!!!  Inflation is over 2% or haven't you heard?

Anyway we are happy to say we have agreements in place to provide a very low risk 3 to 4% per year on HALF of our Kinship Fund.

By the ways, we have an average risk of trade of 0.65%.  We take risk very seriously, but are still able to provide superior returns above the standard market averages.

May is very busy, as we are doing our final touches to our power point presentation.  We'll see what the investment environment will be in June as it seems like it is very tough to raise money.

Hopefully investors will see the attractiveness of having non-correlated great returns so far that our fund has posted.
