Winterman Group Launches Multi-Manager Diversified Fund

The Winterman Group has launched a British Virgin Island-based professional fund that aims to provide diversification across three different asset classes.

Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) October 13, 2006 - The Winterman Global Capital Markets Funds investment objective is to achieve consistent capital appreciation of assets while seeking to preserve invested capital through trading and investment in the global capital markets.
The fund has three investment asset classes, private and special equity situations, algorithmic foreign exchange trading and a diversified fund of funds class:

Foreign Exchange.

This class of share will employ the Kintillo program developed and managed by Insch Capital. Kintillo is an entirely systematic investment process that has two main component parts: Directional trading signals and Money management. Both processes are constantly re-optimized to reflect new statistical information in the market. This is updated in real time.

Global Diversified.

This class of shares will employ a multi-adviser approach. The Manager will select Sub-advisors using an asset allocation strategy, which is based on combining non-correlating Sub-Advisors and will select Sub-Advisors on the basis of their empiric investment history, knowledge and professional expertise. The Investment Manager is in discussion with a number of suitable Sub-Advisors and will be announcing the appointment shortly.

Special Equity Situations/Private Equity

The investment objective of this class of shares is to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns through investment in securities of undervalued companies whether listed or unlisted. An opportunistic approach will be utilized to pursue these objectives. Specific investment disciplines will include, long and short positions, merger arbitrage, corporate restructuring, temporary market pricing aberrations and other special situations, such as reverse mergers and IPOs.

Insch Capital Management AG, a Swiss based specialist forex investment firm run by Christopher Cruden, formerly Managing Director of Tamiso & Co LLC, New York, is the Investment Manager of the fund. Commenting on the launch of the fund, Chris Cruden (who is also a director of the fund) said “The Winterman Fund offers investors a number of very substantial benefits; primary among these is simple access to styles of investment and expertise that are not usually available to the non-institutional investor. This, we believe, will be a major selling point of the fund.
Insch investment system is a trend-following, algorithmic trading strategy that is usually only available to institutional clients. Key to the system success has been rigorous risk management, trade-on-trade risk equivalency and portfolio diversification within the asset class.

The fund has also engaged the services of former Man International Chairman David Anderson who has been credited with many innovations in the fund industry. “The new Winterman Fund is very interesting; it has drawn together a number of investment managers and investment techniques. The different share classes within the fund are accessible on an la carte basis, the investor can choose to diversify across all three or choose just one class of shares in which to place his funds. The funds objective is to give access to areas where the non-institutional investor has had difficulty investing, such as algorithmic trading and larger hedge funds. Also the position of the fund in the private and special equity sector is a timely strategy, with consolidation in various sectors becoming a reality as well as the emergence of new technologies and markets.

Winterman Group Chairman, Malcolm Stockdale comments, “Having launched our Swiss asset management business, Winterman Asset Management Offshore Investment we have been working to provide further options for high net worth individuals to invest for growth. The launch of the fund is a culmination of this effort and I am very pleased with the professionalism of the partners we have chosen to work with, who have made developing the fund smooth but thorough in its implementation. Partners such as The Custom House Group, Northern Trust and Horizon Cash Management offer investors in the fund a solid background of industry expertise.

The Winterman Group wine of the month club at wintermangroup.com is a private equity group which primarily invests in companies which they then spin off into listed entities, generally through the reverse merger technique. Commenting on the Groups involvement in the fund, Mr. Stockdale added “The Winterman Group is growing into a niche business with some excellent companies, both core to our financial services strategy and in our portfolio of investments, the fund is a strategic addition where investors will be able to benefit from expertise in the reverse merger field but also from other styles of investment management and techniques. This diversification is something we employ ourselves so it made sense for us to create a fund that offered these techniques to our investors.

Winterman Asset Management Engaged by Biometrics Firm

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Geneve, Switzerland, 10/11/2006 - Winterman Asset Management SA is pleased to announce its appointment as Corporate Advisor to 123ID, Inc., a US based biometrics company..

123ID have now issued an offer memorandum to raise $3m in an initial funding to continue to expand its niche technology into the European and US markets.

The use of a person¢s physiological or behavioral features to authenticate identity is called “BIOMETRICS. In todays world of high tech communication and internet connectivity, it becomes increasingly important to rely upon human qualities to verify identity and create a secure relationship among individuals and businesses.

123ID, Inc. (.123id.us) is a software development company that specializes in biometric solutions for identification purposes with its primary historical emphasis on the utilization of finger print technology. Biometrics is the science and technology of establishing the identity of an individual by measuring the person physiological or behavioral features. Verifying a person identity with biometrics, such as a finger print, signature, iris or facial read, is becoming a requirement and a standard for many businesses and government agencies.

Founded five years ago, the Company has initially invested millions of dollars and all its resources into research and development. From technological design and implementation to patent applications, this period is considered to be a preparation phase in anticipation of the official sales and marketing stage of the technology and the Company itself. Incredibly, even though not intended, the relationship process with future clients began early in the R & D phase as the technology and the Company was slowly being introduced into the marketplace.

Today although overall a new entity in the marketplace, 123ID has a long list of references and impeccable reputation developed from historical projects, along with established relationships. Combined with its recent partnerships with corporations such as Novel, Fujitsu, SigTec, Triad and many more, the Company has a head start in its introduction in the marketplace.

Commenting upon the project, Winterman Director Sara Buzze said “We are very excited to have taken on board the 123ID project. In the current security environment in which we live a company like 123ID is making important steps forward in the innovation of security software. Their technology is also inter-operable with virtually all fingerprint readers on the market, which makes 123ID an obvious choice for hardware vendors selling to end users.

123ID Inc has made in-roads into international governmental clients and is currently evaluating several projects on behalf of European security agencies. Ms Buzze said “Companies who wish to deal with governments have to have robust and secure software applications as well as having employees and management who are beyond reproach, the team at 123ID have created such a company and we are very happy to be working with such a professional business.

The security industry is seeing added interest from investors with news of Geneva based private bank Pictet launching a fund in November that will be concentrating on this sector. The general consensus being that there could be a period of consolidation while companies and investors position themselves for what is estimated to be a huge growth industry.

Ms Buzze said “We can understand why a firm like Pictet are getting involved in the sector, there are many smaller companies who are developing technologies in this area. The investor that chooses correctly could make a substantial profit on their investment over the coming years. We do believe there will be consolidation and we are working with 123ID on several acquisition targets that could be merged with the company to make it a major player in the sector. We believe firmly that the way in which 123ID have positioned their technology, i.e as an inter-operable software solution, it can become the software of choice while others are fighting over the development of their hardware. The way we look at it is that you now see laptops with Intel Inside written on them, when it comes to security devises we believe that you will be seeing ID inside in the years to come.

The Canadian and Swiss based Winterman Group wine of the month club at wintermangroup.com, is a private equity group which primarily invests in companies which they then spin off into listed entities, generally through the reverse merger technique. Winterman Asset Management SA is a Swiss based asset manager and corporate finance company primarily dealing with high net worth individuals and institutions.

Net Guard shuts up shop following Commission investigation
Media Release 2002/4

Auckland based Net Guard (New Zealand) Limited has closed down following a Commerce Commission investigation. The Commission had received complaints that Net Guard was operating a sophisticated pyramid scheme in breach of section 24 of the Fair Trading Act.

Net Guard, formerly known as World4Vision, described itself on its website as a "technology driven international membership organisation focused on becoming a market leader in the design and development of wireless Internet-enabled tracking and location systems."

The Commission began investigating Net Guard last month after receiving more than 30 complaints and enquiries about the business.

"The Commission had strong concerns about the activities of Net Guard, and considered that it showed the hallmarks of a pyramid scheme," said Commission Chair John Belgrave. "Two of the people who set the scheme up in New Zealand, Malcolm Stockdale and Stuart Baldwin, were associated with Alpha Club, an alleged pyramid scheme the Commission is current taking civil action against."

"The Commission executed a number of search warrants last week with a view to seeking a court injunction to stop the company from trading. It found that more than 60 people had joined Net Guard and that the business had already generated up to half a million dollars in membership fees."

"The Commission received information following a Net Guard meeting on Wednesday night (3 July) that those involved in the management of the company had resigned with immediate effect and that the company was suspending operations in New Zealand. In addition, no further membership meetings have been planned."

Net Guard was conducting presentations at various hotels throughout the Auckland region. Admission to the presentations was available only by invitation from `agents' of the company. Invited guests were introduced to a scheme where they could earn income by becoming sales agents of security systems and through commissions paid for recruiting new members. Guests who were interested in becoming `agents' for Net Guard were required to pay a $6,800 membership fee. Upon recruiting another person, they become a `sales agent' and received a commission of $1,200. Income at any level could only be gained by the recruitment of new agents.

The majority of complaints to the Commission included allegations that Net Guard had not supplied the security products new agents expected to receive on joining and concerns that it may have been a pyramid scheme. Mr Belgrave said the Commission's investigation would continue and enquiries were still being made.

Malcolm Stockdale and Stuart Baldwin left New Zealand last month. The Commission received information that Stockdale and Baldwin have been attempting to set up the scheme in Australia, and that one of the principals had now left for South Africa. The Commission has alerted the relevant enforcement agencies in Australia and South Africa.

"The Commission warns people to be careful if they are approached to join schemes where there are promises made about future earnings and that require people to recruit members to obtain those earnings," added Mr Belgrave.

Net Guard Members are encouraged to contact the Commerce Commission with any relevant information regarding Net Guard on during office hours.

***************************

Dear Scrub,

You have received a new private message at ScamFraudAlert from responder, entitled "Winterman Asset Management SA".

This is the message that was sent:
***************
We have spent considerable time, effort and funds to establish our business and build its reputation within the community in which we operate.

Our company is a regulated asset manager and corporate finance consultancy business. Our wealth management function is for high net worth and professional investors. We do not market these services over the phone. The poster 'skippyandknicks' could not possibly have received a call from Winterman Asset Management SA as we do not have anyone who markets our services on the phone. To do so would be against several regulations, including the Financial Promotions Act in the UK and similar laws around the world.

In any event a direct offer from us would not be made as we only market our asset management and corporate finance services, 99% of these clients are gained by referral from other companies.

I am sure that you can see that a number one spot on Google for winterman-am.com talking about us as a scam is extremely damaging, indeed I became aware of your site through an email from a client.

Also there appears to be some concern over our web providers, e2solutions. This company was referred to us and has developed web sites for Honda, Suzuki and KLM to name but a few. Why would this information point to us being illegitimate?

As a company we do not want to get into any protracted legal situations with a site that helps clients avoid illegitimate situations but, as I am sure you can imagine we have to protect our reputation fiercely.

It is also inferred that Winterman Funds is in some way not correct when it is obvioulsy managed and operated by highly respected companies.

I would ask therfore, once again, that you removed all reference to Winterman from your site.

Thank you
Winterman Asset Management SA
