The Colosseum Investment Fund’s goal is to give investors a strong portfolio without the issue regarding the focus in “long-only” investment positions such as a common index fund “buy and hold” which is merely based on purchasing shares. The Colosseum Investment Fund can be classified as a Long/Short “mixed” hedge fund that fight to give investors more profitable options than classical buy and hold investment strategies. The Colosseum Investment Fund’s Investment Advisor, Inc. plans to adopt an flexible strategy, in order to manage volatile markets and to earn profit, without take into account the global markets’ patterns. The success of the Colosseum Investment Fund, which returned traders 150% over 24 months (vs. 4,3% for the S&P 500 Index), required the implementation of the Colosseum Investment Fund in November of 2014. Brad J. is the President and CEO of the Colosseum Investment Fund’s Investment Advisor. Mr. Johnson has a great experience in trading equities since 1985, and he is a smart trader graduated at the London School of Economics. Mr. Johnson analyzed, created, and implemented all strategies for the Capital Investment fund.
Executive Summary Objective The objective of the Colosseum Investment Fund is to create capital incrementation for its clients by using its knowledge of micro-economic features influencing each single securities taking into account the global macro-economic environment. All the securities have valuation metrics, which means volatility, free and discounted cash flow analysis technical trading features that may be analyzed and measured, GAAP earnings, and price multiples (price/sales, price/earnings, price/book, etc). Global macroeconomic features, for instance, industrial and demographic patterns, interest rates, pricing anomalies might be taken into account as well to define whether they will increase or not from the value of a single equity and governmental monetary policy.
Investment Strategy The strategy of the Partnership is to maximize asset allocation, taking short positions in equities the Partnership holds with higher risks or little expected returns and assume long positions with profitable prospects and risk adjusted returns. The General Partner want to use a mixed and non fixed investment approach in order to asset allocation that will allow fast corrections to deal with frequently changing in market circumstances.
Market Risks Facing Traders Today Recent Changes in Market Dynamics A significant number of people and institutions, keep up with the market has became extremely hard, because of the increasing markets’ volatility caused by, program trading, faster information movement.
Increased Volatility Rising markets have had as a consequence a lot of drawbacks, most of the times due to factors that have small influence on a particular security. Traders now deal with different economic and geo-political risks such as terrorism, boomerang effects, increasing leverage and asset bubbles. These external factors can make trading even harder, as globalization and information flow has been the cause of trade in the same direction from distant markets, rendering few safe spots for traders.
Buy and Hold Strategies Disappoint Investors Traders who have opted long positions taken by the majority of mutual funds have been euphoric at times, and depressed later on, as soon as the markets’ fluctuations became faster than they have ever been.
Summary of Economic Risks Facing US Investors Today Market Decline in 2008 In the late 2007, the subprime home mortgage sector increased significantly as the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) help poorer American inner-city dwellers get mortgage loans. In 2008, the liquidity crisis caused the failure of key businesses, declines in consumer wealth and a downturn in economic activity leading to the Great Recession of 2008–2012 and contributing to the European sovereign-debt crisis.
Government Reaction Governments and central banks responded with unprecedented fiscal stimulus, monetary policy expansion and institutional bailouts. In the U.S., Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Traditional Domestic and International Economic Risks Risk Factors Given the finance circumstances facing traders today, it is clear the necessity to be aware of the different and intercorrelation of activities that could, without an obvious regulation, lead to similar events. The graph to the right describe a brief, and really important, list of these kind of risks and their expected consequences.
Economic and Budgetary Factors Taking into account these classical macro-economic factors for institutions is the global dependence upon increasingly interconnection with shadow bank sector, the need of liquidity, the US election, the necessity of regulation and the increasingly interest in riskless investment.
Additional Event Risks Facing Investors Today Geo-Political Events Even though traders could understand the traditional macro-economic risks facing traders today and apply that information to investing strategies, geo-political events such as Brexit or US last election terrorism and earthquake can cause markets to plunge suddenly. Risk of Unpredictability Natural events such as earthquake in Italy or terrorism in France have implemented a new key into the investment world, which is hard if not impossible to measure, impossible to forecast, and impossible to get ready for using classic buy and hold investment strategies. All these factors lead to great exposure, against normal externalrisk and make standard strategies old and useless.
Colosseum Capital Fund’s Solution to Obsolete Buy and Hold Strategies
The Colosseum Solution The Colosseum Investment Capital Fund, looks for high profits in the global equities marketplace without a great investors’ exposure to the full strength of unexpected event risks such as terrorist attack and/or earthquake. Traders in the Colosseum Investment Capital Fund would have the opportunity to hold both long and short positions in a significant number of equities seeking to reduce event risk exposure. This investment strategy tries to earn from the rising spread among the value of equities owned, which the fund things to be undervalued, and the slower increase or decrease in equities sold short by the fund. As consequence, the Colosseum Investment Capital Fund is considered to be a Global/Macro – Long/Short “mixed” hedge fund, because our changing world aspect now seems to be followed by great exposure.
Long/Short Hedging Defined by Example – First Day Downside is a hypothetical example of the result of a hedged investment given an overview Amazon price shares declines of 2% on the US election day. In this case, the trader is “net profit,” assuming a position where his long and short positions are the same on the first day. Assume a market index is trading at 100 on this day.
Index Value - 100 Purchase 1000 Shares of China mobile at $56/share − $56,000 (cash out) Sell Short 1000 Shares of Amazon at $71/share + $71,000 (cash in) $15,000
Simple Examples of Hedging Strategies Primary Goal The primary target in the Colosseum Capitol Fund is to gain a profit on the price performance of equities taken to buy vs. those taken to sell short. The mix of equities for long and short positions can take a lot of divergent shapes as well. In the square are some easy examples of hedging strategies. LONG POSITION

Equities Used by the Colosseum Capital Fund Investment Strategy The Colosseum Capitol Investment Fund will not invest only in domestic equity as shown in the easy example of long/short hedging.
