  • Trading Strategy: The Vulcan Metals Ultra Strategy was designed to be a combination of the relative value strategies used in the Vulcan Metals Fund and a much more aggressive directional trading approach. This provides a much higher volatility profile than the original fund, which replicated many of the edge-laden strategies run on a traditional bank metals trading desk. The strategy is managed by Typhon partners James Gallo, Ed Smith, and Anthony Cicileo. Utilizing a global network of information on mining, usage, historical movements, and need, as well as proprietary research, the methodology is exacting yet flexible enough to capitalize on daily market structure irregularities. Vulcan trades a variety of metals including copper, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Vulcan adapts to changing market conditions, the strategy employs intra-commodity spreads to target low volatility returns. Vulcan focuses on the highest risk-adjusted opportunities, many of which involve taking the cash-inefficient side of the trade to arbitrage premia created by counterparties who refuse to enter into fully-funded trades like taking title to warrants on physical commodities and cross-exchange arbitrage.
