Background

About Ajit Dhillon

I'm currently managing Investments at Alpha Alternatives, a Multi Asset class, Proprietary Capital Investing and Asset Management firm with investment funds both onshore and offshore. I'm a seasoned proprietary trader across asset classes. With an understanding of Macroeconomic factors combined with technical analysis I was able to provide investment opportunities for both the proprietary desk and clients of my employers. While taking directional bets, I have worked on product development on both trend following systems and equity participation. I trained a ten man team for artibtrage opportunities in the Indian equity market. I was selected to be a part the "Rising Lions Programme" in ING India where we trained to become Treasury Specialists. I was then promoted to ING Singapore as part of the Developed Market FX desk there. I handled and executed the Global FX book of around 2 Bln Euros and made market for BIS, Central banks, Hedge funds and large Institutions. Most of our budget was made by proprietary trading, taking directional bets on FX pairs. In Wealth Management I was a part of a team that took care of 10K crore INR. We helped Institutions and UHNI's with asset allocation and risk management. Investments spread across equity, bonds, Alternative Investments in infrastructure, real estate, credit funds and structured products. While I enjoy all aspects of Capital Markets my main interest lies in "Risk Taking". My edge lies in the ability to spot opportunities and act aggressively on them. My consistency comes from disciplined investing principles molded from years of experience in different asset classes during various economic cycles. Investment success accrues not so much to the brilliant as to the disciplined. —William Bernstein
