Derek Mayne, Managing Director said “Mikkel’s experience in the markets gained over the past 20 plus years are an invaluable addition to the team. He brings with him excellent currency strategy and trading ideas, together with a stringent risk management focus and a great eye for manager selection gained within an industry that has gone through a number of different cycles in his time. We are delighted to welcome Mikkel on board.” From his years of experience, Mikkel successfully develops and trades currency strategies and actively advises on alpha driven portfolios of G10 currencies, as well as a number of other complex hedging programs and strategies.

Mr. Thorup explained a little about his investment philosophy in creating risk-adjusted returns in the currency markets: “When evaluating individual trading strategies and how they perform over the medium to long term, we monitor and assess the skills of the trader in generating returns based on their trading styles and how this fits within our overall strategy. This way, we source traders that are capable of consistently generating returns in varying market conditions, instead of seeking specific strategies that perform well only in the current market environment. Successful strategies are then appraised within the portfolio selection process to qualify the strategy and verify the returns.”
