Nicholas Bovell
 

Nicholas Bovell is a professional trader and fund manager specialising in a global macro approach to trading spot FX, equity indices, and key commodities. 

​

Trading financial markets since 2009 and managing investor capital since 2015, his returns regularly outperform those of traditional assets.

Throughout his 15-year career as a trader, he has become an expert in monetary policy forecasting whereby his trade calls often front-run a central bank’s shift in policy.

He has a profound grasp of risk management, complemented by the skills and confidence to know when to increase or decrease exposure to a particular trade theme. He has developed a proprietary method of dynamic risk management which favours upside volatility of returns while reducing downside volatility. 

Nicholas has served as a portfolio manager at hedge funds since 2017. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Western Australia with double majors in Investment Finance and Corporate Finance. He also acts as Managing Director of Mako Management Limited, an Approved Investment Manager regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission.

​

Employing a global macro strategy, trades are executed manually on a discretionary basis across spot FX, equity indices, and key commodities. Inputs derive from macroeconomic data points, central bank communications, and geopolitical events. Returns do not correlate with other asset classes such as equities.
