Benefits of trading for Nickel's Diversified Alpha fund:
Transparent and protective performance-linked agreements rewarding the highest risk-adjusted returns
You earn progressively higher performance share for delivering higher Sortino ratio returns
No copy trading as there is no centre book
Independence to be fully remote
Economies of Scale enable low-capacity, high-return strategies to have low fixed costs and so be financially viable
Ownership of IP and track record retained by you with value directly accruing to you
What we are looking for in strategies:
Return of over 20% after fees paid to the pod manager (managers may use futures leverage to increase return but this increases drawdowns which decreases relative capital allocation)
Managers don't have to be strictly market neutral but shouldn't have a consistent asymmetric directional bias.
All signal generation or trading should be systematic. No discretionary or screen-based trading.
Capital allocation priority for high Sharpe strategies. Some tolerance for lower Sharpe if a strategy is idiosyncratic with low correlation to the rest of the portfolio.
Priority for higher frequency trading that generates a statistically significant trading dataset, allowing for faster capital allocation ramp up
While we can fund high-octane low-capacity strategies (<$10M) our preference is for the higher capacity strategies (>$100M)
Ideally strategies wouldn't be correlated to other pod managers in the portfolio. Uncorrelated managers receive larger capital allocations
