  • 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 ML Tactical Volatility Program ("Program") uses machine learning to maintain long volatility futures positions hedged with equity futures. The Program makes use of a neural network with custom architecture and a feature set of thousands of technical variables measuring relative price level changes, volatility level changes, and volatility of volatility level changes. These features are mapped to a lower dimensional space for computational feasibility, and then combined on a cross-asset basis. The Program is designed to provide downside protection with significantly less time decay drag during typical market conditions.

    Accounting Notes: Except as described further below, performance record reflects unaudited, actual returns of proprietary and client accounts invested in the Program, net of applicable fees and expenses. Individual client experience may vary, due to timing of investment and actual fees and expenses paid. Returns for the period from September 21, 2018 through April 30, 2022 reflect unaudited, actual returns of a single proprietary account net of brokerage commissions and other transaction expenses and are adjusted to reflect a pro forma expenses consisting of a 1% annual management fee (pro-rated monthly) and a 15% quarterly incentive fee (accrued monthly), but no other operating expenses. As of May 1, 2022, Program returns reflect unaudited, actual performance of a single separately managed account net of brokerage commissions and other transaction expenses and are adjusted to reflect pro forma expenses consisting of a 1% annual management fee (pro-rated monthly) and a 15% quarterly incentive fee (accrued monthly), but no other operating expenses. All returns are as of the applicable month-end for the complete month except for the starting month. The most recent month-end return is an estimate and subject to change. The Program commenced trading on September 21, 2018.
