Trident Capital Management LLC

Trident Capital Management LLC ("Trident" or "Trident Capital") is a systematic, diversified, global macro strategy that provides exposure to fixed income, equities, foreign exchange, and commodities through managed futures. Combined with proprietary Momentum Models created for the post-2008 trading era, Trident features two unique models: the Vega and Risk Regime models, which use proprietary measures of market volatility and risk appetite to add stability and consistency to Trident's portfolio. These models are meant to be especially valuable in times of crisis by either being "short" equity or "long" fixed income, or both.

Trident Capital Management LLC is a quantitative, systematic, global macro alternative investment manager in Chicago, Illinois. The Principals, collectively, have over 80 years of trading, research, and market experience in Equities, Indices, Commodities, Foreign Exchange, Options, and Interest Rate Products. The team has created, designed, and implemented trading models and automated trading systems. Trident Capital is registered with the CFTC and is an NFA member as a Commodity Trading Advisor and Pool Operator (CTA and CPO). Please be aware that Trident Capital is a "4.7" CPO and CTA and, as such, limits its clients to "qualified eligible persons" as defined in applicable CFTC rules. We offer our services only through our disclosure document.

At Trident, we seek to use our combination of deep market experience and strong research and quantitative skills to create diversified portfolios of futures across different markets that produce returns intended to be uncorrelated with traditional asset classes, as well as other managed futures strategies. We believe our proprietary quantitative models will have favorable risk-adjusted returns while preserving capital in volatile market conditions. Further, we believe that the interplay of fixed income with other markets creates unique global macro exposures that can produce profits in a diverse array of market environments. Moreover, our three-pronged risk management process was created with the intent of preserving capital and adding value in difficult times. Our portfolios will trade outright futures positions in various markets, as well as inter-market and intra-market spreads to express its risk.

The strategies at Trident are designed for a diverse client base of institutions, family offices, endowments, and high net worth individuals who are "qualified eligible persons.". Trident Futures Fund, LP, our commodity pool, has two share classes intended to target specific risk appetites and are only offered through our Private Placement Memorandum to "Qualified Eligible Persons." One targets volatility that is about 25% lower than the long-term volatility of the S&P 500 Index and the other targets volatility slightly higher than the long-term volatility of the S&P 500 Index. Of course, there is no assurance that these targets will be achieved. For large professional investors, Fund of Funds and Institutions, we offer Separately Managed Accounts so that their typically large investments have greater transparency and liquidity. For clients looking to manage their interest rate exposure or sensitivity, including real estate developers & fixed income managers, Trident can customize portfolios to meet specific needs. We can also design portable alpha portfolios to complement and diversify traditional long-only equity, fixed income, and other diversified portfolios to reduce volatility.
