Summary

The Tactical Alpha Program (TAP) systematically trades liquid contracts on the S&P 500 seeking positive uncorrelated returns to equities and bonds over most market cycles. The strategy seeks to profit from investors' complex herding behavior ranging from panic to euphoria reflected in the dynamics of the S&P 500 price action. The model is built on the team's decades of experience managing risk and working with the mathematical dynamics behind non-normal distributions like the S&P 500 (e.g., internet congestion, earthquake aftershocks, and traffic jams).
