Investment Approach

Investment Philosophy

We believe that attractive absolute and risk-adjusted returns can be best achieved through diversified investment strategies that span a broad range of markets and employ rigorous risk management and portfolio construction techniques.

 

 

 

Our Focus

Market conditions can evolve rapidly. Graham’s active and strategic approach to diversification seeks to provide compelling alpha opportunities across a variety of market environments with low correlation to traditional investments over time.

Graham has an established framework to prudently manage risk within the context of prevailing market conditions, including daily Risk Committee meetings and real-time risk monitoring conducted at the portfolio, component strategy, and position levels across all offerings.

Strategies are designed within the construct of a well-defined investment objective that looks beyond total returns and considers factors such as liquidity, volatility, diversification and correlation characteristics, and consistency, among other factors.

Our Focus

  • Diversification by Design
  • Active Risk Management
  • Thoughtful Portfolio Construction

Investment Governance and Committees

The sustainability of our business over the long term has been aided by a robust committee structure that is designed to ensure appropriate oversight, thoughtful decision-making and prudent risk management across all of our operations.

Our Executive Committee is responsible for the overall management of our firm.  The committee is comprised of Ken Tropin, Pablo Calderini, Brian Douglas, Kelly Tropin Whitridge, Jennifer Ancker Whelen, and Brad Williams.

The Investment Committee is responsible for overseeing the firm’s investment portfolios. The Investment Committee meets formally each month to decide discretionary portfolio allocations, target leverage, and to discuss ongoing investment matters for both the systematic and discretionary strategies.

The firm’s Risk Committee is comprised of senior members of the firm’s management team and meets daily to review position-level information and related risks for each of the firm’s strategies within the context of prevailing market conditions. The daily process is designed to inform members of the firm’s senior management team of the various risks to which the firm is exposed.

Our Compliance Committee reviews all compliance-related issues that require firm-wide cooperation, including trading efficiency and best execution, and the policies and procedures detailed in our Compliance Manual and Code of Ethics. The members of this committee are also members of our Valuation Committee, which reviews any deviations from our valuation and pricing policies.

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.

Any “benefit plan investor” (e.g. An IRA or other ERISA investor) investor is hereby deemed to represent to Graham Capital Management (“Graham”) that an independent fiduciary (as defined in the ERISA fiduciary rule) is exercising its independent judgment with regard to such investor’s investment in any Graham managed fund and is aware of and acknowledges and agrees that Graham and its affiliates are relying on the exception set forth in clause (c)(1) of the ERISA fiduciary rule (i.e., the “transactions with independent fiduciaries with financial expertise” exception) with respect to any communications made to the investor or the investor’s fiduciary that are considered recommendations concerning any transaction and such benefit plan investor.

Although the site may include investment-related information, nothing on the site is a recommendation that you purchase, sell or hold any security or other investment, or that you pursue any investment style or strategy.
