OUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY

A Principled Approach 

Taaffeite Capital Management Liquid Alpha Program is a macro multi-strategy, allocating to 100-200 opportunities across global equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies.

This broad diversification aims to give investors exposure to a broad set of global opportunities, and Taaffeite aims to select the highest quality assets within each asset class to produce significant returns.

For example, instead of buying just US Treasuries, Taaffeite aims to select a portfolio of the highest quality government debt bonds that are the most underpriced. The portfolio is also globally diversified and risk neutral to absorb market volatility.

OUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY 

Macro strategies, strategies that invest broadly across asset classes and geographies, are built on the concept of Market Portfolio Theory. The aim is to identify high-quality investments, that are also uncorrelated. As positions are uncorrelated, collectively they reduce the portfolio's risk and allows the use of moderate leverage to enhance returns.​

Quantitative Techniques

Since 2013, Taaffeite Capital has developed quantitative techniques to make high-quality price predictions and build high-quality global portfolios to outperform our peers. Over a 3 year rolling window, Taaffeite aims for all asset classes to contribute to returns and therefore aims to outperform a common index like the S&P 500.​

 

Our fund aims to beat our benchmarks on a risk-adjusted basis over 2-3 year rolling windows.  TCM benchmarks against MSCI All-Country World Equity Index and the HFR Systematic Macro Index.
