DIPS (Dynamic Index Protection System) is an “intelligent shield” designed and developed by Altex to protect your investment when it matters most. This dynamic capital protection system activates during corrections and bear markets, without compromising the long-term growth potential of the investment.
Why did we create DIPS?
Because investing is not just about gaining — it is also about avoiding significant losses.
At Altex we are fully aware that protecting our clients’ capital is not an option, but a responsibility. When markets turn adverse and equities fall, we needed to find a way to defend and safeguard investments. That is why we developed DIPS. And since its launch in 2022, it has proven to be a key tool, acting with precision to protect capital without sacrificing growth.
How does DIPS work?
DIPS does not try to predict the market. What it does is anticipate, read market signals and act accordingly. When it detects a bearish trend, it activates hedges through short positions on indices, for example: · S&P 500 → in Altex Momentum and Altex Quality funds · Nasdaq 100 → in Altex Growth and Altex Quality funds This protects the portfolio without selling positions, keeping the investment strategy intact. DIPS by ALTEX provides the necessary information in times of crisis to systematically protect invested capital. It is knowledge based on deep historical analysis of the data, movements and consequences of the most recent periods of market instability.
It is a dynamic and adaptive protection system, capable of acting even by entering and exiting positions within the same day if necessary. It answers 3 key questions:
When to hedge? Detects the moment when the market trend turns negative.
How much to hedge? Adjusts coverage based on the strength of the trend, protecting anywhere from 0% to 100% of the portfolio.
When to unhedge? As soon as signals improve, the system unwinds positions, removes protection and recovers the portfolio’s upside potential.
