Canadian advisors top flash crash list

Two Canadian advisors topped a list of firms that successfully stayed clear of the market during the May 6 “Flash Crash” and have significantly outperformed the market so far this year.

Embrun, Ontario-based TurningPoints Long/Short was short the market during the Flash Crash, according to TimerTrac.com, which compiles daily recommendations from some 200 advisors and more than 700 strategies. That positioning helped TurningPoints beat the S&P 500 by 27.63% as of May 28, 2010.

Trailing behind the U.S.-based Ambitus Capital Non-Leveraged strategy, Toronto’s ARTS Aggressive Growth Long/Short/Cash ranked third with a 17.84% year-to-date gain. It had a cash position on May 6, according to data from TimerTrac.
