  • Trading Strategy: The firm is an alternative investment management company that employs an institutional quality futures program designed to consistently produce high absolute returns adjusted for risk. The program is diversified, short-term and 100% systematic. It utilizes multiple momentum and mean reversion based systems which incorporate price, time, volatility and pattern recognition into its dynamic models. These elements are combined to generate high probability directional trading signals, which attempt to capitalize on the many short-term trends that are present in most types of market environments. Qualified investors have the potential to achieve superior capital appreciation with sound risk management and low correlation to traditional investments, regardless of the overall direction of individual markets or asset classes.

    Accounting Notes: The performance of the Adalpha Diversified Short-Term Program shown for the period from April 2003 through July 2019 is the performance of the Advisor's proprietary account, adjusted to reflect the advisory fees charged by such program. The results also are net of brokerage commissions charged to such account, which are believed to be similar to what an institutional investor would be charged. The Advisor's principal commenced trading this proprietary trading account pursuant to the Program prior to registering with the CFTC as a CTA and becoming a Member of the NFA. Beginning January 1, 2007, the proprietary account was 50% notionally funded and beginning December 2011, the proprietary account was 75% notionally funded. While the use of notional funding created greater leverage based on the cash in the proprietary account, the percentage returns in this account reflect what a client would have achieved during the same periods because the rate of return was calculated by dividing net performance into the total account size, inclusive of notional equity. The performance shown for the period from August 2019 through present represents the composite performance results for all customer accounts that traded the Adalpha Diversified Short-Term Program.
