Vega Centauri catches opportunities, protects the gains

Since the start in October 2004, we are already up 26% and most of the time we have done it at less risk than market risk.  Over the last 10 years, using similar strategies, our chief investment officer Tom de Lange CFA, has achieved a compound average return of 30.2% per annum, beating the market by 14% per annum and a life time (22 years) compound average return of 16.3% per annum. We’ve shown we can catch the opportunities.  And when the next bear begins or the market dumps, we’ll make sure your good gains don’t slip away.
