About Qbasis Fund Management
Qbasis Fund Management (QFM) was incorporated on December 1st, 2005. A team of 23 employees across three different companies, QFM, Systrade Asset Management AG in Liechtenstein and Quartaurus-IT GmbH in Graz, Austria support operations. QFM is the investment manager of the Qbasis MF Trend Plus program and its corresponding fund the Qbasis Futures Fund, which is a combination of the MF Trend and MF Plus strategies.
Qbasis MF Trend Plus is a futures based systematic, technical break-out trend following program (MF Trend) with a contrarian component called MF Plus that trades over 100 markets in Europe, Asia and the U.S. The strategy was developed by Florian Wagner, Ziad Chahal and Matthias Matzat and has been available to external investors since February 2006 in managed account form and since April 2008 additionally through the Qbasis Futures Fund.
The program differentiates itself from other well diversified trend following and mean-reversion strategies in various ways. One strong differentiator according to the principals is the MF Trend program´s ability to recognize trends early which allows the program to benefit from short-term and long-term trends. The other notable trait of the strategy is the low correlation between the MF Trend and MF Plus components. These two independent strategies deliver the Qbasis MF Trend Plus (Qbasis Futures Fund) program lower risk and more chances to capture profitable trading opportunities from intraday volatility, short- and long-term trends as well as in a sideways market environment.

An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. Alternative investment products often execute a substantial portion of their trades on non-U.S. exchanges. Investing in non-U.S. markets may entail risks that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. markets.
