The Superfund group of investment companies was founded in 1995 by Christian Baha in Vienna, Austria, and are now among the world’s largest providers of managed futures funds. In March 1996, members of the Superfund group of investment companies launched the first fund for private investors. By 1997, with further refinement, the award-winning Superfund trading strategy emerged, resulting in a fully automated approach to trading.
Today, more than 13 years later, the Superfund group of investment companies have total assets of approximately US$1.65 billion under management from more than 50,000 private investors, and with offices established in 20 countries worldwide. By consistently employing trend-following techniques, managed futures funds have the potential to generate returns in a range of market conditions and provide diversification and low correlation to traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds. Our flagship fund Superfund A (Superfund Q-AG*) has averaged 18% pa in the past 13 years, Superfund B (Superfund GCT USD*) averaged 22.4% pa over the past nine years, and Superfund C (Superfund Cayman*) averaged 30.22% pa over the past eight years.
