from a beta-to-vol perspective. - TRY, RUB, GBP, CNH, INR, KRW skews look
overvalued, whereas ZAR, BRL, HUF, AUD and NZD skews look cheap.

underlying rates vols/correlations, whereas scandies vols are overvalued.

98% of max allocation for all currencies.

lowest. Both strategies have delivered solid returns in 2019, with benchmark at
+11.9% and filtered at +10.2%, and so far in 2020, with +1.2% for both.
