Superfund is a managed futures fund provider, considered an alternative investment vehicle, and uses unconventional marketing techniques.

Superfunds can be found in the portfolios of more than 50.000 institutional and private investors worldwide. Superfund has offices all over the world and employs more than 370 people. Superfund was founded in 1996 by Christian Baha in Vienna, Austria, today offices around the world, including New York, Chicago, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Amsterdam, Monaco, Vienna, Stockholm, Dubai, São Paulo, Montevideo, Grenada and Zurich.

History

On March 8, 1996, Baha launched his first alternative investment product for private investors - the Superfund Q-AG (closed fund). The flagship Superfund Q-AG was one of the world’s first retail managed futures funds. The Superfund Q-AG fund achieved an average annual return of more than 20 percent net of fees. In 2002, Superfund received admission for sale by the U.S. exchange supervisory authority (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) to offer its funds in the U.S. In 2003 Superfund, the new generation of Quadriga's funds, was internationally launched.

Since 1996, Superfund has become increasingly successful specializing in international managed futures funds. Superfund is the first Managed Futures Fund management company to open retail Investment Centers around the world.

All Superfunds utilize the proprietary fully-automated systems designed to ensure minimal correlation to traditional investments. Superfund trades in over 100 markets in both commodity and financial futures. While Superfund funds can decrease portfolio risk via non- or negative correlation, they can simultaneously enhance overall portfolio performance and therefore improve overall investment quality.

Performance

Superfund's flagship fund Superfund Q-AG has achieved a net return of +566.00% or +19.0% p.a. (January 2007) and was one of the top-performing managed futures funds worldwide. It has received over 40 international awards, including first place rankings in the Wall Street Journal and 5 stars from Standard & Poor's.
