  • Trading Strategy: The QUANT ALGO DTST DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM is a quantitative trading systems portfolio. Market Trading Algorithms are combined together in a portfolio using quantitative analysis. The strategies take advantage of short-term market fluctuations including trend, countertrend, and mean reversion price movements in a diverse group of liquid futures markets.

    The Portfolio is a unique asset class, actively managed as an alternative investment for our clients. Proprietary algorithms have been tested and developed into fully automated trading systems. Trades are entered and exited using a 100% systematic approach.

    Market Portfolios are developed using our own Portfolio Characterization Matrix to combine a wide range of diverse trading systems using diverse methodologies. Quantitative metrics are used to measure the level of diversity in the portfolio. The goal of the trading program is to employ the portfolio to capture risk adjusted returns in any type of market environment. The Portfolios are developed to trade bull markets, bear markets, different cycles of volatility, as well as a range of economic conditions including rising and falling interest rates. Risk Strategy: N/A

    Accounting Notes: Monthly rates of return are calculated pursuant to the Only Accounts Traded Method ("OAT"). Under this method, rate of return are computed by dividing the aggregate net performance by the aggregate beginning equity for only those accounts which traded during the entire month and which had no material additions or withdrawals. It excludes new accounts, accounts that were open for only part of the month, and accounts which had material (i.e., 10% or more of beginning equity) additions or withdrawals, and other factors that may possibly distort rate of return.
