Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

Trading Description

The Global Tactical Allocation Program (GTAP) is a systematic managed futures program. It combines a risk parity methodology to form a balanced core portfolio together with a dynamic multi-strategy overlay to control absolute asset exposure. The tactical overlay component of the program gives GTAP the ability to exit the entire exposure of an individual asset or sector from the core portfolio with the objective of protecting returns together with helping avoid negative tail events in risk-off environments.

The objective of GTAP is to produce superior risk-adjusted returns over that of its traditional investment peer group by capturing positive global macro capital flows within a balanced asset portfolio while engaging a multi-strategy overlay to exit exposure and protect returns during risk-off environments.

Risk Strategy

Created as a high capacity, low turnover, low margin portfolio, GTAP takes positions in only the most liquid exchange traded futures contracts covering Asia, Europe and the USA, with exposure in stock indices, bonds, interest rates, currencies, energies and metals. GTAP targets a long-term annualized volatility of 7%, while having an average margin-to-equity ratio of approximately 5% (with a historical maximum ME of <7.5%).

Core positions tend to be held long-term with a low portfolio turnover of approximately 350 round turns per-$million.

Background

Mr. Doyle is the creator and portfolio manager of GTAP and a Principal of Katonah EvE LLC. Mr. Doyle has over 30 years of financial industry experience covering trading, money management and system and portfolio development and implementation. Starting his career with Cargill on the floor of the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE), Mr. Doyle has had long tenures working for Trout Trading Management Company, Bermuda, in strategy development and implementation, and Crabel Capital Management Company as a Senior Portfolio Manager, developing and managing short and long-term trading systems and portfolios.
