GPAM aims to deliver superior absolute returns with its new Alternative Multi Strategy programme. We focus mainly on spread trading and create alpha from our understanding of the mean reversion of commodity spreads that occur within seasonal tendencies. The program mainly utilises the quantitive analysis of data but it also considers market fundamentals. Our alternative multi strategies include: Statistical Arbitrage, Spread Trading, Relative Value Long/Short, Volatility Arbitrage, Global Macro and more.
We are looking to attain risk adjusted returns in different market conditions. We aim for a low correlation to the S&P 500 and other market indices. We apply strict risk management to our consistent alpha to create risk adjusted returns in our portfolio. During the last two years we developed risk parameters that liquidated our positions in the case that the portfolio was down more that 6%. This risk adjustment does not prevent us from achieving our profit targets. Instead, it has quite the opposite affect encouraging positive performance in the long term.
