Spread Trading / Mean Reversion / Ags, Meats
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 quantitative 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.

The Alternative Multi Strategy was designed by Gregory Placsintar with input from one other individual. Mr. Placsintar assisted the individual in the trading of his account, but did not have power-of-attorney. Because neither Mr. Placsintar nor GPAM had power-of-attorney over the account, the performance is not presented as GPAM client performance. The actual trading results of the account presented below do, however, represent the trading history of the Alternative Multi Strategy trading program. Performance has been adjusted to include a management fee of 2% and incentive fee of 20%. GPAM will be assuming the trading of this individual account and intends to use the same trading strategy for all customers trading the Alternative Multi Strategy.
