Program Description: The Short-Term Absolute Return (STAR) strategy is a quantitative multi-strategy that leverages momentum and mean-reversion signals. It takes directional long or short positions and can also maintain a neutral stance. STAR trades the two most liquid equity index futures: the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100. With an average holding period of 2.9 days, its net exposure varies from -100% to +100% (average just +27%). Its 5% peak margin-to-equity ratio makes STAR very capital-efficient. In line with DFC's hallmark strategies, STAR has a positive two-sided return convexity, during significant upward and downward moves in equity and bond markets. This highlights its capacity to deliver absolute alpha with positively skewed returns. Launched on June 01, 2023, by August 01 it became an integral sub-strategy within the DFC VolArb Program. Another compelling application is pairing STAR with the ICA Program, reducing risk and amplifying returns.
