About Us

Clients come to Lion Asset Management for one thing; to make money. Our managed forex trading strategies are backed up by extensive research and analysis, and we have a highly disciplined approach to deploying these strategies.

Lion Asset Management isn’t regulated and does not need to be. We are closed to new clients except by recommendation from an existing client. And have been since 2006. That is unlikely to change. Ever. We also have a compliance procedure which means we only deal with HNW individuals and investment professionals who are exempt as set out in Article 14 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001 here.

Lion Asset Management clients are fully aware that they invest in unregulated collective investment schemes that are not authorised or otherwise approved by the FSA and can not be marketed to the general public.

This website is directed only at recipients set out in the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2001 (Promotion of Collective Investment Schemes) (Exemptions) Order 2001.

Examples of such recipients may include (but are not limited to) Authorised Persons, including Independent Financial Advisors which are authorised and regulated by the FSA, certified sophisticated investors, High Net Worth Companies and unincorporated associations. We verify through our compliance procedures that all new clients fall within these categories.

Our compliance requirements provide that in order to qualify as a “high net worth individual”, the potential investor has to certify that in the previous financial year he/she had:

  • an annual income in excess of £100,000 or
  • net assets in excess of £250,000 (excluding primary residence and insurance and pension policies)

In order to qualify as a “sophisticated investor”, the potential investor has to certify that he/she:

  • was a member of a network or syndicate of business angels and had been so for at least the previous six months or
  • has made more than one investment in an unlisted company in the previous two years or
  • has worked in the previous two years in a professional capacity in the private equity sector, or in the provision of finance for small or medium sized companies (SMEs) or
  • has been in the previous two years a director of a company with an annual turnover of at least £1,000,000

The company was formed in 2002 with the aim of becoming a top money manager. Since inception, Lion Asset Management has proven its strong trading record, and continues to attract clients only by recommendation from an existing client.

Experience

Lion Asset Management’s money managers come with years of experience in balancing risk against returns. Our target of making profits for our clients is based on a comprehensive understanding of the international money markets, and what makes these markets move. Currency values fluctuate constantly, so Lion Asset Management uses a variety of trading ’stop losses’ to ensure that the loss on any particular trade is controlled, while the opportunity for gain is left as open as possible.

Transparency

With Lion Asset Management, clients have online access to view our trading strategies and performance in real time. We believe in transparency in everything we do.

Lion Asset Management traders open multiple lot positions and prefer to use trailing stops as a mechanism to lock in profits on a step-by-step basis, while seeking greater moves.

Real-Time Market Analysis Indicators

Lion Asset Management uses a proprietary model, which incorporates a multitude of Technical and Fundamental indicators to project Volatility, Overbought/Oversold conditions, Trend Direction/Strength for the Major currency pairs.

Overbought/Oversold

There are two types of markets; range-bound and trending. Oscillators are commonly used to gauge overbought and oversold conditions in range-bound markets. With oscillators, a chartist can forecast when a pair is running out of steam on the upside or downside. Our proprietary model incorporates a statistical averaging of standard oscillators to identify key levels for range-plays. Using this indicator, we can identify when a currency pair may be towards the top or bottom of a range.

Trade Example:

If a pair is highly overbought/oversold and the trend is weak, there is an opportunity for an aggressive range or reversal play.

Trend

In a trending market, oscillators would be ineffective as there is a strong movement in one direction. The proprietary model incorporates Technical trend indicators, significant Support/Resistance levels, Fundamental flows and other variables in forecasting development of a trending market condition and its respective strength.

Using this indicator, we can assess whether the overall trend for a particular pair is up or down.

Trade Example:

If a pair displays a strong bullish trend, dips would be identified for an optimal entry point. If trend is relatively neutral, overbought/oversold indicators would be analyzed to determine possible range plays.
Volatility

Volatility is a statistical measure of the tendency of a market or pair to rise or fall sharply within a short period of time. This indication is used well in conjunction with other variables to determine strength of price action as well as to effectively manage market risk. Using this indicator, we can instantly assess how fast or uncertain the market is moving.
Market Sentiment

Whereas the Trend, Overbought/Oversold, and Volatility gauges are based on Technical and Fundamental analysis, the Market Sentiment indicator is unique in that is it is based solely on sentiment or what other traders ‘feel’ about the market. Market psychology has always been a driving force in any financial market. Individuals and institutions have always “bought the rumor, sold the news.” How do your fellow traders and fellow institutions ‘feel’ about the EUR/USD, or any of the other pairs traded at any given time? The Market Sentiment Indicator tries to provide a gauge of exactly that. Based on the input of other traders, the Market Sentiment Indicator provides a descriptive aggregate of total user sentiment.

Using the Market Sentiment indicator in conjunction with Technical and Fundamental ones is a great way to see how market psychology factors into trading. Essentially, it is a tool to help you see another facet of the market in an effort to make more informed trading decisions.
