  • Trading Strategy: AST exploits both mean reversion and short-term momentum in a tactical (non-trend following) strategy. Markets tend to move in waves. Strong moves in one direction are often followed by retracements in the opposite direction. AST identifies turning points and rides the reversion momentum for a short term gain. Program highlights the unique skills and experience of principals, former institutional option traders at a major energy merchant and bank.

    Accounting Notes: Performance is net of fees. AST began trading as a stand-alone program in Sep 2016. Performance prior to this (and ongoing), the program trades as part of the multi-strategy Auspice Diversified Program. The stand-alone program is shown using a proportional risk level represented by a single managed account.
