Episteme Capital is an alternative investment management firm comprising its parent holding company, Episteme Capital Partners (Cayman), Ltd, its London office affiliate, Episteme Capital Partners (UK), LLP and its Rye Brook, NY office affiliate Episteme Capital Partners (US), LLC. Episteme Systematic Quest (“ESQ”) is a multi-asset class systematic global macro program. ESQ’s investment approach has a balanced combination of fundamental, technical, and liquidity strategies. The program trades the most liquid foreign exchange forwards and government bond, short term interest rate, equity index and commodity futures. The benchmark is the Societe Generale CTA Index (Bloomberg ticker NEIXCTA). The Societe General CTA Index is designed to track the largest 20 (by AUM) CTAs and be representative of the managed futures space. Managers must be open to new investment and report returns on a daily basis. The Societe Generale CTA Index is equally weighted, and rebalanced and reconstituted annually. Returns are presented in U.S. dollars net of model management and incentive fees. Net-of-fees returns are calculated monthly using model fees of 1% annual management fee charged monthly and 20% performance fee. Actual fees charged may vary by client due to various factors including, but not limited to, account size as well as the terms of performance compensation. Further disclosure regarding fees is in the Form ADV Part 2a of Episteme Capital Partners (UK), LLP. Leverage is embedded in the products which the ESQ program trades, namely futures and FX forwards. Consequently, leverage is utilized daily and is not due to the size of its balance sheet, but rather to the underlying market value of its derivatives positions.
