Growth Diversified Strategy (GDS): February 2025 Performance Highlights
Due to the collapse in digital assets and the surprising strong rally in the Euro, which caught many wrong footed, our flagship portfolio, GDS, experienced a drawdown of -2.3% for February 2025. which is the largest since inception.
This has followed the respectable net return of +11.81% in 2024, so we are quite disappointed.
That said, although the start of 2025 has not been the best, we remain loyal to our visions and strategy for thisall-weather strategy, and the proven risk management practices we apply.

February 2025: Performance by Asset Class
Overall, considering the volatility in digital assets. and the geopolitical turbulence we experienced at the beginning of the year, we accept that the investment environment has been unusually challenging over recent weeks and accept that adapting to the global changes and renewed political pressures has been a challenge for several of the strategies to deal with.
Average Monthly Returns
February performance was impacted by a weak monthly close in volatile digital assets and FX strategies.
Our risk management team has been closely monitoring various opportunities with the potential to enhance the program's performance which 2 new strategies has been added. The risk team has also removed one strategy from the portfolio, there are now 17 different strategies allocated in 6 different asset classes.
GDS Allocation
The allocation for February was mostly unchanged with the major bias being towards Foreign Exchange exposure.
We are actively looking for programs to add to our allocation in other sectors, and when we find proven programs to add, which comply with our strict risk management parameters, we will adjust our program accordingly.
Contribution and Performance for February 2025
Last month was not good for 3 asset classes, however looking at the past 2 months volatility we have managed to limit the draw-down through strict risk management practices.
We are proud to announce that GDS portfolio has been nominated by hedgeweek in the category Emerging Performance of the year: Multi-Strategy
Also, a strategy in our portfolio Altis Enhanced Macro has been nominated: in category Macro.
