  • Trading Strategy: Rotella Capital Management ("RCM") was founded in 1995. RCM is built on the vision of Robert Rotella, one of the early pioneers in bringing a purely systematic approach to investing in the futures space. RCM has built on that deep experience to create multiple futures and securities strategies. Rotella Qdeck Systematic Trend Program ("Program") utilizes a multi-model, multi- timeframe approach to invest in global commodity, interest rate, equity index and foreign exchange markets using statistical and machine learning models, and was formerly known as Rotella Polaris Program. The Program was launched in 1991 based upon Robert Rotella's quantitative study of price trends in global markets and disciplined risk management methodology and its long track record reflects consistent returns with very low correlation to traditional and alternative investment strategies alike. The core investment models in the Program analyze price data to identify market anomalies that may be repeated over various time horizons. A top-down portfolio management approach incorporates quantitative portfolio optimization, tactical risk allocation, systematic execution and sophisticated money management techniques to target consistent returns across various market conditions. The trade duration within the Program is between five (5) and three hundred sixty-five (365) days.

    Accounting Notes: performance returns are actual returns of representative client and proprietary accounts (including RCM-sponsored funds) invested in the Program (formerly known as the Rotella Polaris Program) that are presented on a composite basis, net of applicable fees and expenses (which may be different than those currently offered). Individual client experience may vary, due to timing of investment and actual fees and expenses paid. Returns for January through July 1997 are pro forma estimates that represent a period when Program assets were transferred to RCM's Reduced Leverage Program (since closed). Returns for the period October-December 2009 reflect the temporary waiver of management fees. Beginning March 2013, a majority of Rotella Polaris Fund, LLC assets consisted of proprietary capital. From January 2015 through November 2018, Program returns consisted exclusively of the net returns of the Rotella Polaris Fund LLC and Rotella Polaris Fund, Ltd. As of December 2018, Program returns reflect the performance of a single proprietary account net of brokerage commissions and other transaction expenses and are adjusted to reflect a pro forma fee of 1.00% annual management fee (pro-rated monthly) and a 15% quarterly incentive fee (accrued monthly), but no other operating expenses. The most recent month-end return is an estimate and subject to change.
