Weavering Capital was founded in 1998 by the company’s CEO, Magnus Peterson. The
objective was to create a macro research and investment management business geared
towards creating absolute returns.
Magnus Peterson and James Stewart have worked togther for over thirteen years, in
which time they have built a sound and proven investment process. This investment
process has been adapted over time from a more aggressive proprietary trading style
to a less volatile, risk adjusted return profile.
In 2003, the firm launched its flagship fund – Weavering Macro Fixed Income Fund.
This is a discretionary approach, fundamentally macro economic driven,
Unlike other traditional macro funds we have decided to focus on the global fixed
income universe.
Weavering’s approach is to identify distortions in the world’s economic markets.
Top-down economic analysis by the team identifies themes that can be exploited by
the investment team. Essentially investment opportunities occur where we feel confident
that markets have incorrectly assessed the probability of an interest rate move.
The fund looks for inefficiencies in the global economy, mainly focusing on UK,
Europe, US and Japan. The investment team then constructs a portfolio based on our
core themes, by investing the assets in fixed income markets using government bonds,
money market instruments and their derivatives, primarily futures and options. There
is a particular focus on interest rate derivatives.
Despite the directional nature of most of the themes we run, we have developed an
option overlay program to manage risk in the portfolio. We believe that options
are a better risk management tool than using traditional stop losses.
