Andrey Movchan on ARQ
You have probably heard the conventional wisdom that structured products are a very dangerous and ineffective way to invest. It is true – almost always. ARQ, managed by Artem Karlov, a veteran in the complex derivatives space, is an exception: the Fund invests in particular structured products and in such a way that the investment risk is minimal and returns are significantly higher than the risk-free rate. The portfolio put together by Artem could be called the holy grail of conservative investing, if not for its long investment horizon, with at least three to five years needed. But if you have the time, then you are unlikely to find a product on the market offering a similar reward for the risk of significant losses.
I have the time, so I am an investor in the ARQ Fund.
