Aventine utilizes a three-step investment management approach to maximize the risk-adjusted returns of its products: theoretical analysis, empirical analysis and risk management. The firm uses valuation models to determine the fair value of Japanese securities. These models are implemented to segment the market into three groups: undervalued, fairly priced and overvalued securities. Aventine utilizes statistical techniques to increase the probability that a trade will result in positive returns by focusing on those mispriced securities that are extremely mispriced relative to their own historical valuations. Specific probabilities are assigns to all mispriced securities, and those which offer the best potential for positive returns are evaluated further to determine if they satisfy all risk management criteria. The risk management process is utilized to maintain the appropriate risk profile of the firm's products. Leverage, portfolio diversification, credit risk and net exposures are evaluated and adjusted accordingly to maintain the optimal mix of securities and limit the potential risk for loss of investor capital.
