HOUSTON (HedgeWorld.com)-Monarch Capital Management completed
an agreement with Pinnacle Alternative Investments, in which
Pinnacle will lead the introduction of Monarch's FX Multi-Strategy

The FXMS Program is a proprietary foreign exchange strategy
that seeks to hedge against the valuation or devaluation of
U.S. dollar assets, while looking for speculative opportunities
to gain from short-term swings among cross-rates of foreign
currency. The program, managed by Charlotte, N.C.-based commodity
trading adviser Monarch, uses a variety of non-correlated
strategies that also are independent of most peer group benchmark
indices, and it uses customized risk management tools to control
return volatility and equity drawdowns.
Monarch President Clarkson Jones III has worked in forex
since 1994. Monarch currently has approximately US$4.8 million
in assets under management, with reported returns for September
of 7.95%. The average annual compounded return for the FXMS
Program over the last five years, through September 2005,
is 63.13%.
As part of the alliance with Pinnacle, Mr. Jones agreed that
the FXMS Program will be able to accept and manage in excess
of US$250 million over the next two to three years without
the program's strategy being affected. Domestic and offshore
fund structures are being considered for the vehicle.
Pinnacle provides investment management and marketing services
to new, emerging and established CTAs, along with individual
and institutional investors.
