TAKAHE STRATEGIES

Global Quantitative Fund

  • It combines several Takahe strategies, including the Systematic Trend and Spread Momentum programs, in a single portfolio.

  • Resilient in design, it aims to generate a unique return stream which substantially exceeds the return on cash.

Spread Momentum Program

  • It trades intra-market commodity calendar spreads. Both long and short spreads are traded.

  • Long spreads are spreads where the long position is in the near-dated contract and the short position in a contract further out on the curve, and vice versa.

Systematic Trend Program

  • A classic trend following program, it is long-term in nature and resilient in design.

  • The program has an absolute return objective and does not follow any benchmark or index.
