The Traders

James and Edel are co-founders of Trillium Capital and are personally involved in every decision made at Trillium.  They are never further than the other end of the phone. Their combined experience gives them a thorough understanding of how to navigate the inevitable ups and downs of the US financial markets and trade them with confidence and composure.

Trillium Capital Index Fund

The fund is a basket of 50+ of the most actively traded U.S. company stocks listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. Several of them are also listed on the Dow Jones 30 and the S&P 500.  The companies are from various industries including technology, health care, industrials and many others. Although they are U.S. companies, 27 countries are tied to companies represented in the index

It is constructed on a modified capitalisation methodology.  This modified method uses individual weights of the companies according to their market capitalisation.  Weighting allows constraints to limit the influence of the largest companies and balance the index with all constituents. The stock list is reviewed each quarter and weightings adjusted if the distribution requirements are not met.

All stocks within the index need to have an average daily trading volume of 200,000 and publicly report earnings quarterly as well as annually.  They also must be a component of the Nasdaq index for at least 5 years to be included this eliminates smaller companies that come in and out of the Nasdaq from time to time. These criteria make for a more consistent and stable return using our strategy.
