Overview
The J8 Global Absolute Return Strategy ("J8 GARS") is a liquid alternative investment solution. Capital preservation and capital growth are at its core.

J8 GARS only trades highly liquid exchange traded futures on commodity, currency, and government bond markets. It captures distinct and independent streams of returns within a systematic and formulaic investment process. The program is derived from J8's proprietary research.
