Program Description: The NWOne Diversified Strategy Program exploits supply and demand imbalances, hedging activity from physical commodity traders, and financial flows from investors that cause commodity prices to experience short-term deviations from intrinsic value. Our models are calibrated using rigorous statistical methodology and out-of-sample tested using state-of-the-art machine learning methods. The program consists of 3 independent strategies:

  1. Directional futures: Fundamental supply and demand driven modelling of each commodity combined with macro demand forecasts. Alpha capture around scheduled and un-scheduled events. Targets highest return during periods of high/transitory inflation. Long and short positions in outright futures with holding period of 4-7 days.
  2. Calendar spread futures: Individual commodity inventory modelling combined with risk premium capture around producer/consumer hedging. Targets stable risk adjusted returns at low/negative correlation with the benchmarks. Positions in calendar spread futures with holding period of 1-8 weeks.
  3. Intraday futures: Exploits structural inefficiency arising from producer hedging activity. Positions in outright futures with holding period under 1 hour.
