TAKAHĒ GLOBAL MARKETS FUND
Approach
The Global Markets Fund (GMF) is a systematic trend following fund which trades a cohesive ensemble of robust strategies across a very diverse set of markets, methods, and trading horizons.
GMF belongs to a market segment with few remaining competitors but immense potential: “higher octane” alternative investment funds. Over the past decades, most hedge funds — including trend following programs — have lowered their volatility targets, creating a crowded “red sea” of asset gatherers focused on Sharpe ratio maximization.
We’d like to differ. GMF seeks to generate high compound returns by keeping losses small and letting winning trades run on, accepting the volatility that is the consequential result of an approach that aims to participate in large “home run” price moves.
GMF charges no management fees. Our compensation is purely driven by performance, maximizing the alignment with our investors. To protect existing investors and maintain full trade-sizing in all markets of the fund’s universe, which includes smaller commodity markets, assets are capped at about €500 million.
Key Features

- Trading an ensemble of independent systems, methods, and trading speeds, each with a clear rules-based design and purpose
