(Vienna / Mauren, 2014-04-15) The Salus Alpha diversified CTA strategy "Directional Markets" (DMXUSD) has delivered an outstanding start to 2014 in terms of performance, according to the db select Manager Performance Flash Report – March 2014, produced by leading Deutsche Bank independent Managed Investment Platform db Select. The strategy delivered +4.12% in March 2014 which led to the result of being Ranked 1st YTD 2014 and Ranked 3rd Trailing 12 Month return of established managers on DB Select Platform and therefore yet again outperforming the world's biggest CTA managers. The significantly below average trailing 12 Month Volatility of 11.47% provides clear evidence that Directional Markets' risk management is dealing with the current environment and is producing very strong risk-adjusted as well as absolute returns to investors. Regarding current market conditions we expect the strong performance to continue since at the time of writing YTD performance reached already 12% by Mid April. We remain highly uncorrelated to other CTAs, which means a an improvement in returns and risk ratios for e.g multi manager portfolio.

We have not changed the model at all. The model has consistently performed every year since inception in 2003.
