七禾網14、萊恩斯的基金產品，一般同時持有多少個股票？在股票搭配上，有何講究？

How many stocks do Lyons funds hold? What is the strategy behind lyon’s stock combinations?

Sander·Read：CLTAX holds 25, CLPAX holds 30, and LFSAX holds 50 for now.  As you can see, the larger the positions the fewer stocks we hold.  The small the cap stock, the more positions we want to hold because there is more volatility and less volume as we move down in size.

七禾網15、萊恩斯的股票持倉比例一般控制在多大的范圍內？有沒有滿倉或空倉的時候？（若有，在什么時候會滿倉，什么時候會空倉？）

What is the proportion of Lyons stock positions. Do you hold cash or do you use all investment capital to buy stocks? Under what circumstances do you clear all stocks?

Sander·Read：We stay over 98% invested at all times in all of our products.  When we are not long we use cash.  If our risk indicator signals (QRI), we liquidate and go to US Treasuries in CLTAX and LFSAX.  We can also go to cash if Treasuries are not performing well.

Currency market is quite volatile recently, what is your option on risk management and spotting opportunities?

Sander·Read：We don't really trade currencies.  We can more or less sit in any currency that a client would want to sit in, and we can hedge the currencies if the account is big enough.  But we don't really engage in any type of FX trading or speculation.

七禾網17、在美國，對基金管理機構實行監(jiān)管職責的部門是哪個？監(jiān)管力度嚴不嚴？就您看來，是偏嚴厲的監(jiān)管更利于行業(yè)的長期發(fā)展，還是偏寬松的監(jiān)管更利于行業(yè)的長期發(fā)展？

Which department supervise and regulating financial firms in America? Is it strict? Which is more beneficial for long-term development of financial industry, strict regulatory environment or less strict regulatory environment?

Sander·Read：We are governed by the SEC and in my opinion, they are very strict.  The US market is a very mature market and unfortunately the SEC and investors have seen many bad investment schemes and criminal activity.  I think because of this, the SEC is very experienced in finding and eliminating bad actors in the US marketplace.  There are also a lot of rules governing the market to ensure fair treatment and execution for the average investor.  I would consider the regulatory environment in the US as very good for investors and investment managers.  I think strict is better than not because there is no room for investment managers that don't put the interest of their clients first.  Less strict regulatory environment usually leave too much room for unscrupulous people to take advantage of others.

七禾網18、萊恩斯和盈透證券有著哪些方面的合作？您對盈透證券的服務水準如何評價？

What kind of partnership does lyons have with IB. How do you value IB’s service?

Sander·Read：Lyons uses IB for clearing and execution, as well as custodian for it's client accounts.  We are not "partners" per se, more working together to serve our clients.  IB, in my opinion, has by far the best execution and most sophisticated platform for managing money in the world.   IB is one of the only firms in US that makes it possible for managers like Lyons Wealth to manage money in countries outside the US.  So it's an extremely important tool for Lyons as we expand globally.

Sander·Read：We are beginning to test trading in Chinese and HK securities.We are not sure whether American's will be interested in trading Chinese stocks, but we do know America investors are aware of China, the Chinese economy and markets and how they relate to the US and global economies.

七禾網20、目前萊恩斯總共管理多少規(guī)模資金？這一規(guī)模在美國各基金管理公司中，大約的排名是多少名？

What is the size of Lyons funds, how many assets are under management? What is the AUM ranking among your peers?

Sander·Read：We are managing around $250 million in assets.  That makes us a smaller firm, though certain not the smallest amongst independent investment advisors.  Our goal is to get to over a billion in assets in the near future.

七禾網21、萊恩斯的客戶主要是個人投資者還是機構投資者？他們的核心需求是什么？

What kind of clients do you have? Individual or institutional? What are their core needs?

Sander·Read：We have both retail and Financial Advisor driven clients, as well as a few small institutions.  Their needs vary but we strive to deliver the best products and asset mixes to them on a per customer basis.

七禾網22、您對中國市場是否了解？就您看來，中國市場最大的機會是什么？

What is your understanding of Chinese market? What is the biggest opportunity Chinese market offers?

Sander·Read：We are learning the Chinese market, so our understanding is under development.  The great thing about having visited and now doing business in China is the amazing opportunity it presents.  What I see is the fact that the investment market has a long way to go as far as financial planning and diversifying of portfolios correctly.  China reminds me of the US in the 70's and 80's, with stock tips, day trading, trading in penny stocks and overall speculation.  So the opportunity for Lyons and the benefit to the Chinese investors is that we can bring organization and stability to the Chinese investor.  The market should be looked at as a long term store of wealth, a place to save and grow investments over a long time horizon.  The market should not necessarily be looked upon as a place to speculate, but that's the impression I have of individual Chinese investors.  Lyons wants to bring organization, financial planning and proper asset allocation discipline to the Chinese market using superior products where available, and that should help the average Chinese investor imensely.

Generally speaking, how do fund managers in Wall Street think about Chinese market? China is slowly opening up the market, what do you think about the opportunities that can offer?

Sander·Read：Most Wall Street managers don't know much about China or the Chinese markets.I think the opportunity is massive that the market is opening up, and I'm surprised there aren't more American managers trying to come over and do business.My guess is that will change in the future.

What is your opinion on more and more western people are doing business and settling down in China?

Sander·Read：China is a great place, the Chinese people have been absolutely fantastic to me and I'm grateful to have been able to travel here and have become friends with many Chinese people.I think the language barrier and distance from the States will keep many Americans out.I do think the brave ones that do come to do business and visit will be greatly rewarded.It's an amazing country full of smart, educated and hard working people and I think the future for China looks great.I think if there can be a solution to some of the pollution and perhaps continued population control, and China is a first world country of the future.
