Martin Fund Management

Martin Options Program QEP only

Investment Strategy

Martin Options Program (MOP) utilizes option spreads structures to profit from macro opportunities in the Softs (Coffee Sugar Cocoa), Grains (Corn Soybeans Wheat) and Precious Metals (Gold) commodity sectors. The program recognizes that many of these commodities are at or near 30+ year lows; with a major post-COVID crisis demand surge on the horizon, the program seeks significant opportunities using options structures within a robust multi-layered risk management system. The program also recognizes the increased volatility in these markets given many new factors (China trade war/deal, COVID-19, EM currency routs); the program seeks to benefit from this volatility within a systematic risk protocol. MOP targets a 15% volatility, annual return goals of +20%, with a target Sharpe ratio of 1.5+ or better. Strategy capacity USD 2B.
