Investment Strategies and Policies:

The Bel-Air Fund is a dynamic hedge fund, investing exclusively in European index futures with a special emphasis on the German “Bund” and “Dax” and the French “CAC 40”.
The Fund will position itself strategically and with patience and caution in these highly rewarding markets and products that offer exceptional growth potential coupled with relatively low risk, adequate liquidity and low spreads.
No positions will be held overnight; all operations undertaken during any one day will be closed during that same day. In view of the highly volatile nature of these markets, the Investment Advisors will limit their involvement by reducing by a factor of 4 the authorized number of negotiable contracts involving the assets under management.

The Investment Advisors:

Steelsons Bancorp & Trust & Expertise Boursière Internationale (EBI) have access to the entire knowledge and savoir-faire as regards to the trading systems.

Steelsons is the American subsidiary of EBI, a Paris, France based trading institution which is the majority shareholder of Steelsons.

EBI has a fully paid-up capital of Euros 275`000.-- and was set up after its founders had tested their trading methods successfully since 1998, achieving steady gross performance figures above 100% per annum.

US$ 100.000.- invested in 1998 would have grown to a net of over US$ 450.000.- in just over three years.

Prior to the formation of EBI, its principals managed assets in excess of USD 3 Billion for clients such as Caisse de Depots et Consignation, Banque de l`Union Europeen, Shearson Lehmann, AXA Insurance, Credit Industriel et Commercial (Credit Mutuel) and certain US Hedge Funds.

Welcome to Bel-Air Strategy Fund Online

With recent world-wide economic developments having taken its toll on the global equity markets, investors -private and institutional alike - have had to re-adjust their investment criteria and focus to include other, politically and economically less vulnerable types of investments, such as currencies, derivatives, commodities and non-equity financial instruments.

Most of these types of investments offer a wider variety of investment approaches and opportunities to profit from both rising and falling markets, such as Index futures and a quicker response time for investment managers requiring to change strategy and positions.

The Bel Air Strategy Fund (BASF) is designed to profit from intra-day movements on the European Bourse Indices, particularly the German `Bund` and `Dax`.

BASF offers investors an aggressive, Active Fund as well as a Capital Protected Investment Fund, guaranteeing investor returns in full.

The past performance of our Advisors is unique and virtually unmatched; an average return of above 100% per year.
