Composition

Investment Strategy

Diversified Alpha uses a non-trend following strategy combining 19 quantitative models grouped into three categories: (i) behavioral, (ii) relative-value and (iii) macro. Behavioral models anticipate the flows of large market participants (e.g. CTAs) to take advantage of their market impact. Relative-value models seize opportunities on spreads between economically-related instruments or across different maturities. Macro strategies use a broad range of statistical models derived from economic principles. These models allow us to generate returns from opportunities not available to typical CTAs. With a typical holding period of several weeks, the strategy aims to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns with a target annualized volatility between 11% and 15 %. The strategy started trading in February 2016.
