Takahē Capital®
A quantitative investment manager targeting absolute returns through resilient trading strategies. Research-driven, principled, 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 distinct markets across many sectors. We also trade spreads, niche markets, and longer-dated contracts
04
Unique Alpha and Low Correlation
We use 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 hedge fund designed to capture persistent price trends in global markets.
The fund targets absolute returns and accepts volatility as a necessary input for capital compounding. 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 spreads and smaller commodity markets. Using an ensemble approach, it combines several independent trend-based strategies in a single portfolio with the aim of creating a unique return stream that is uncorrelated to equities and other macro markets, and de-correlated from peers and industry benchmarks.
Investor alignment is central at Takahe Capital. To preserve diversification and full trade-sizing capacity, assets are capped at about €500 million, and performance fees are earned only on returns exceeding a cash hurdle rate.
