Summary
The Talenta Multi-Strategy Fund offers investors a range of uncorrelated, systematic and momentum trading strategies that trade highly liquid futures across global markets and S&P500. The Fund targets annual growth of 10-15% at a level of volatility below 10%.
Investment Strategy
The trading strategy portfolio is designed to capture market upside and offer protection against adverse market events (‘crisis alpha’) offering ‘attractive correlation’ over time which is structural in nature. Portfolios are created using algorithms with few tuneable parameters and positions that are risk-adjusted. The approach is designed to offer structural resilience in both range-bound and trending markets.
Risk Management
Proprietary capital allocation, capital preservation and risk management algorithms operate across and within strategies enabling drawdown reduction and low latency market recovery. Risk management is applied at Fund, strategy and instrument levels. Risk management techniques may include:
- volatility adjusted position sizing
- low parameter, price-driven threshold analysis
- volatility ranking
- correlation controls
- limitations on equity per position
- portfolio heat-based risk management
- risk free rate threshold to underpin absolute return intent

Summary
The CTA Fund offers investors access to Talenta Capital’s systematic trend following trading strategy which takes long and short trades in highly liquid futures across a range of global markets. The strategy is designed to offer uncorrelated returns and a measure of protection against adverse market events. The CTA strategy targets annual growth of 10-15% at a level of volatility of 10-15%.
Investment Strategy
Portfolio creation algorithms have no tuneable parameters, exploit price pattern information, avoid lagged indicators and apply correlation controls when identifying potential trades. Position sizes are risk-adjusted. The strategy is designed to offer structural resilience in both range-bound and trending markets. The operational architecture reflects decades of systems and trading experience.
Risk Management
Five key principles used to control risk include:
- Dynamic capital allocation enabling reduced risk of Fund drawdowns;
- Proprietary, systematic risk management at fund and position levels combined with risk-adjusted position sizing;
- Portfolios designed to be systematically uncorrelated at the instrument level, reducing potential exposure to adverse events in specific markets;
- Lack of leverage applied to underlying instruments combined with high liquidity execution methods, enabling reduced slippage and downside volatility;
- Structural long term non-correlation of CTA with equities markets.
