Takahē Capital®
A quantitative investment manager targeting absolute returns through resilient trading strategies. Research-driven, and risk-focused.
01
Targeting High absolute returns
We have the courage to challenge how most investors think about risk and accept volatility in the pursuit of higher long-term returns
02
Emphasizing Capital Preservation
We seek to implement asymmetric trades which risk a little to win a lot. This grounds our trading process in a robust and resilient core
03
Maximizing Global Diversification
We trade a large number of markets across several sectors. We also trade spreads, alternative markets, and longer-dated contracts
04
Unique Alpha and Less Correlation
We trade an ensemble of independent strategies across multiple timeframes, producing a unique and uncorrelated return stream
TAKAHĒ GLOBAL MARKETS FUND
Our Global Markets Fund (GMF) is a systematic fund designed to capture persistent price movements in global markets. Using an ensemble approach, it combines several independent trend-based strategies in a single portfolio with the aim of creating a unique and uncorrelated return stream.
The fund targets absolute returns and accepts volatility as a necessary ingredient for compounding capital. Risk management is anchored in asymmetric trade design: losing positions are cut quickly, while winners are allowed to run. This creates a positively skewed trade distribution, concentrating volatility in outsized winning trades and supporting return compounding over time.
GMF trades a very broad and diverse set of markets, including smaller and “alternative” commodity markets. To preserve diversification, its total assets are capped at about €500 million.
Investor alignment is central at Takahe Capital: the fund charges zero management fees, and performance fees are earned only on returns that exceed a cash benchmark.
