What we are looking for in strategies:
Return of over 20% after fees paid to the
pod manager (managers may use futures leverage to increase return but this
increases drawdowns which decreases relative capital allocation)
Managers don't have to be strictly market neutral but shouldn't have a consistent
asymmetric directional bias.
All signal generation or trading should be systematic. No discretionary or screen-based
trading.
Capital allocation priority for high Sharpe strategies. Some tolerance for lower
Sharpe if a strategy is idiosyncratic with low correlation to the rest of the
portfolio.
Priority for higher frequency trading that generates a statistically significant
trading dataset, allowing for faster capital allocation ramp up
While we can fund high-octane low-capacity strategies (<$10M)
our preference is for the higher capacity strategies (>$100M)
Ideally strategies wouldn't be correlated to other pod managers in the portfolio.
Uncorrelated managers receive larger capital allocations
