Since the beginning of 2010, Ikos has boosted its assets under management by more than 50 percent to about $2.5 billion, and wooed sovereign-wealth funds that now make up more than half of its assets under management, including the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
The FX Fund, which invests in currencies, gained 26 percent last year. The FX Fund was up nearly 10 percent through the end of June, beating Bloomberg's Index for Managed Futures Funds and Commodity Trading Advisers, which was down almost 4 percent. The FX Fund was the fourth-best performer among large hedge funds last year, according to a Bloomberg Markets ranking ("Dr. Brownstein's Winning Formula," February 2011).
Founded in 1991 and named after the Greek word for home, Ikos was one of the first quant investment firms. It makes money by designing mathematical models that use market data to forecast prices of securities and futures. With its reliance on its automated computer programs, nicknamed Wendy, Fox and Badger, Ikos is what's known as a systematic managed-futures firm, replacing human judgment with quantitative analysis.
Turn Ugly
Driven by mathematicians and engineers, quant investing during the past 15 years has helped fuel the global boom in hedge funds that, even after the shakeout of the past three years, still manage $1.8 trillion.
Assets of systematic managed-futures funds, which trade futures contracts on currencies, commodities and interest rates, have surged to $238.6 billion in the first quarter of this year from $22.9 billion in 1999, according to Fairfield, Iowa-based BarclayHedge Ltd.
With hedge funds such as Ikos so dependent on intellectual property, things can turn ugly when there's a dispute over who controls the computer models--and uglier still when a marriage breakup and personal animosities are added to the mix.
