Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options, and foreign exchange (“forex”) is substantial.

CTA Introduction

Positive Theta Fund utilises an aggressive long/short volatility strategy. Tactical allocation remains flexible and can be adjusted to benefit from expansion in market volatility as well as the typical volatility compression that occurs when markets remain range-bound for long periods of time. Fund capital is deployed across two systems - the "Core System" and the "Macro System". The Core System presides over the energy market complex and utilises hedging and risk management methods appropriate for those markets. The Macro System contains a subset of ten strategies with broad exposure to twenty six of the most liquid futures contracts. The Macro System derives benefit from strategic diversification and attention to inter-market correlation. In combination, the Core System and the Macro System has provided Positive Theta Fund with solid returns, since inception, though a diverse range of market conditions. <br><br> Principle Biographies: <br><br> Troy Burns, AFMA Dip Fin, Dip Civ Eng: Troy is a co-founder and Director of NCC.
