About us

Our investment philosophy

We believe future market conditions will be different from previous decades of falling interest rates, strong asset returns and negative bond/equity correlations. Economic growth will be slower due to high debt levels, sluggish productivity and aging demographics.

This means past investment approaches, including traditional diversification sources, may not work well going forward. In this new environment, we believe predictability and sustainability are paramount to generating consistent returns.

We use option-based investment strategies that are differentiated and niche, aiming to capture upside while protecting against downside. Supported by our strong track record, we believe that volatility strategies can be attractive for both alpha and protection, and are well suited to the potentially different market environment ahead.
