Operational changes
The strategy will be rebranded to AKThales1
in H1 2024. As a result, the following changes will
take place
1. AKThales will become an appointed representative of Darwinex and a new dedicated
website for Thales strategy will be launched to service our clientele.
2. Investors will still be able to track their performance via Finbou and their Capriva logins. In
practice, nothing changes for existing investors.
3. With the launch of the new website, investors will have more visibility on the team behind
the strategy via customized content creation and strategy insights.
4. This will be the final investor letter under the Finbou format. We will move to a new
monthly letter format sometime in H1.
5. On top of the existing Capriva and Darwinex offerings, we will provide the strategy in a
new interest-earning format.
6. Close cooperation with Finbou will be maintained, and Finbou will act as the sole introducer
to the strategy in Switzerland.
We would like to thank our investors for their trust and look forward to working with you under our
new structure. We continue to think that the outlook for our strategy stands in stark contrast to the
more traditional asset classes, which are likely to experience a decade of choppy returns. We remain
adamant that we can provide our investors with significant alpha, a strong hedge, and capital
protection in this challenging environment.
Sincerely,
Finbou & Aarnikotka team
My name is Aatu, and I have traded and researched macroeconomic events for 12 years. I have gone from a retail trader background to managing a UCITS hedge fund in lieu of providing a trading signal @ Darwinex.com for a trading strategy called Thales. Currently, I run a trading research company with a tight-knit team of four people.
I learned from an early age that depth beats breadth anytime. I had a background in video games, being one of the best players in World of Warcraft at a time when YouTube wasn’t a thing (thank God, lest I stay on that path). From there, I figured if I focused really hard on something else I enjoyed, I might do okay in life.
During my career, I have meticulously studied over 3,000 events, particularly central bank statements, probably watched over 10,000 events (believe it or not, most of them are non-events), and personally traded over 1,000.
Before anyone asks, no I don’t naturally enjoy reading central bank statements. Although at one investor meeting I was once asked the question whether I am autistic given I can cite obscure details from events years back (I obviously took it as a compliment!). But I do find it enthralling to solve the intellectual puzzle of how communication may impact markets and also how one can use that to make money.
The main purpose of this Substack experiment is to share the macro-event-related research we use to form our trade ideas. Most of our research is unpublished, and since we do the work anyway, we might as well share it. We will cover on ad hoc basis
- Central bank previews and reviews on major events
- Important economic data events, such as the NFP
- Political events such as Japanese interventions and US presidential election
What sets this Substack apart from others is the focus on macro news events. Despite every trader being constantly bombarded by market-moving headlines, there are surprisingly few authorities with a track record commenting the events.
