CONTRENDIAN Master Fund

Investment Strategy

CONTRENDIAN is a systematic macro strategy that dynamically switches across different asset classes depending on the prevailing market regime. The strategy uses a proprietary algorithm that analyzes multiple market and fundamental data series to generate an indicator that shows whether the market is in a "risk-on" or "risk-off" regime. Switches across asset classes are made during times of market extremes, when the risk/reward of making an asset switch is most favorable. 

The strategy targets an annual unlevered gross return of 15% and a volatility of 10%, for a Sharpe ratio of 1.5. The investment strategy aims to invest at 1.5x leverage, but may use a maximum of 2x leverage.

The geographical market focus is 50-100% in USA and 0-50% Global Developed and/or Emerging Markets. The strategy may switch across sectors or geographies.

The strategy includes a built-in stop-loss mechanism when the peak-to-trough drawdown reaches approximately 10% on an unlevered portfolio. The strategy aims to contain the maximum drawdown within 15% in an unlevered portfolio.
