As was already announced on our Linkedin Group two days ago Boris Schlossberg and Kathy Lien are leaving GFT to form their own fx fund.

Boris and Kathy are iconic figures in the forex analysis market. The fx power pair worked together at FXCM until they were poached by GFT where they worked in the past few years. Recently however the pair decided to leave GFT and start their own managed forex fund. BK Forex Advisors is providing forex signals in the past 4 years and now Boris and Kathy will run a fund based on those signals.

I briefly spoke to Boris about this move: “After many years of requests for managed funds we have decided to expand BK to run money. Our experience at GFT has been positive and productive but after 4 straight years of positive returns that beat the Barclay’s index for our signal service we feel time has come for us to take it to the next level. We are now undergoing a licensing process with the NFA to become a full CTA to be able to manage these funds however in parallel we will continue our forex analysis updates.”

Them leaving makes sense.
Their name in the FX markets is pretty huge and other than terrible returns they should have a lot of low picking fruit to pick in terms of finding managed accout clients. Will be interesting if they trigger an exodus of other known name analysts in the retail Forex space trying to do the same thing.
