The Meadowbrook Strategy's objective is to provide superior risk-adjusted returns using a proprietary framework of regime models paired with complementary signals to identify and exploit certain market tendencies. It does so by utilizing a systematic stock index option approach. Meadowbrook's proprietary regime model identifies and isolates distinct market environments that tend to exhibit statistically consistent behavior patterns.
