Volatility Arbitrage

We seek to capitalize on inefficiencies in the pricing of volatility within equities, fixed income and commodities, in both domestic and international markets.

While we mostly operate in the options and futures markets we may also trade related products to extract additional alpha from our volatility arbitrage. Our goal is to be able to take advantage of varying market conditions from a generally market-neutral perspective.

Within this framework, the strategy's activity is concentrated in the following areas.

  1. a
    Relative value across the volatility surface
    Positions across strike and tenor where implied volatility, skew or term structure differ from what realized behavior and observable order flow would suggest.
  2. b
    Dispersion and correlation
    Index volatility relative to that of its constituents, and correlation structures where the market's pricing of diversification within a basket appears inconsistent.
  3. c
    Cross-asset volatility
    Relative pricing of volatility between equity, fixed income, currency and commodity markets.
  4. d
    Convexity
    Structures that benefit from periods of market stress, sized and financed so that they contribute to the portfolio during dislocations.
Markets
Equities, fixed income and commodities, domestic and international.
Instruments
Listed options and futures, and related products where appropriate.
Orientation
Generally market-neutral. Directional exposure is hedged unless it forms part of the investment thesis.
Risk
Each position is assessed on its sensitivities, margin requirements, liquidity and behavior under adverse scenarios, individually and in the context of the overall portfolio.

Strategy

Alternative Real Estate

We seek to invest in opportunistic deals that reflect our view on real estate trends: flexible spaces, remote working, digital nomads, co-living, tiny houses and commercial to residential conversions.

We look for opportunities in all five continents, especially in attractive locations with both high appreciation and attractive cash flow potential. Each asset is evaluated on its own operating conditions, including local regulation, planning considerations and execution risk.

Themes
Flexible workspace, co-living and small-format housing, commercial-to-residential conversion, locations favored by remote workers and digital nomads.
Geography
Global, with an emphasis on locations combining appreciation potential and current cash flow.
Approach
Opportunistic, asset by asset.

Strategy

Global Opportunity

We invest in private equity, venture capital and long/short equity strategies that meet our investment criteria.

Our goal is to combine multi-asset diversification with broad international exposure to profit from global trends and hedge single-asset or regional risk. Particular attention is given to emerging and frontier markets, where differences in market structure, valuation or access may create an advantage for investors able to operate there.

Scope
Private equity, venture capital and long/short equity.
Geography
Global, including emerging and frontier markets.
Approach
Selective. Investments are made against the firm's criteria rather than a fixed regional or sector allocation.
