Pioneering
Derivatives

Derivatives are more than a tool to hedge. They’re a universe to explore.

OUR FOCUS

The Pursuit of a New Universe of Investing

We believe the next ten years won’t look like the past ten. Potential rapid shifts in markets drive greater uncertainty. Whether or not that volatility persists, alpha can come from unexpected sources. Our derivatives-based strategies seek to generate returns that are not correlated with market performance.

STRATEGIES

Delivering on Clients’ Objectives

We are a forward-thinking global asset manager, dedicated to exploring alpha opportunities in derivatives and complementary strategies that persist across market cycles. Investing in a broad range of asset classes and geographies, we seek to deliver strong, uncorrelated performance through our flagship multi-strategy offering, and engineer custom and commingled solutions to address our clients’ most significant challenges.
