Diversifying Investment Strategies

By leveraging the unique synergies between the firm’s quantitative and discretionary trading businesses, we have developed and refined a broad range of alpha strategies that complement a broader portfolio.

Our Mission

We endeavor to meet our fiduciary responsibility to clients through three guiding principles:

Collaboration

Graham’s work environment is characterized by collaboration. We aim to create a motivating and collaborative environment where people can share ideas and work together towards a common goal of creating unique and profitable investment strategies.

Innovation

Our industry and firm evolve over time, and each employee has the ability to contribute to this evolution. Over the firm’s history, we have developed new trading strategies, enhanced our portfolio construction and risk management techniques, and launched new investment products to a broad range of clients.

Integrity

Integrity is fundamental to our organization and is a core part of our pledge to clients. Our team is comprised of individuals who are fair and respectful, and employees are empowered to contribute views and opinions. Integrity guides employees when confronted by the unexpected for which no rules exist.

Our People

The foundation of Graham’s sustainability and success is the experience and contributions of its people. The firm seeks to cultivate talent, encourage the diversity of ideas, and respect the contributions of all. In turn, each employee shares in the responsibility of strengthening those around them.

We believe that this culture has fueled the individual growth and collective success of our firm:

Welcome to Graham Capital Management

By entering this website you are agreeing to its Terms of Use.

The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. The high degree of leverage that is often obtainable in commodity trading can work against you as well as for you. The use of leverage can lead to large losses as well as gains.

In some cases, managed commodity accounts are subject to substantial charges for management and advisory fees. It may be necessary for those accounts that are subject to these charges to make substantial trading profits to avoid depletion or exhaustion of their assets. The disclosure document contains a complete description of the principal risk factors and each fee to be charged to your account by the commodity trading advisor (“CTA”). The regulations of the commodity futures trading commission (“CFTC”) require that prospective clients of a CTA receive a disclosure document when they are solicited to enter into an agreement whereby the CTA will direct or guide the client’s commodity interest trading and that certain risk factors be highlighted. This brief statement cannot disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of the commodity markets. Therefore, eligible investors should carefully study the disclosure document to determine whether such trading is appropriate for you in light of your financial condition. Eligible investors are encouraged to access the disclosure document by contacting Graham, which will be provided  at no additional cost. The CFTC has not passed upon the merits of participating in this trading program nor on the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure document. Other disclosure statements are required to be provided to you before a commodity account may be opened for you.  By accepting the terms of this statement and entering the site you are confirming your understanding of this statement.
