Our Investment Strategies

Space-Time 
Absolute Return Strategy

Unique strategy derived from ancient Chinese philosophy.

Provide all weather 15-30% absolute annual return through active investment in a long only equity portfolio with our proprietary Quantitative Space-Time trading system.

Our investment philosophy:

Historical return and risk measurement do NOT apply to the future; minimizing Fat-Tail Risk is KEY. 

Strictly emphasize risk management while PASSIVELY receiving investment returns.

Identify investment opportunities at early stages with a view of profiting as they become known.

Where Time and Space* intercept, the path to "alpha" becomes clearer. 

*Time: Uncertainty that future brings;

Space: Measurable and known object as it encompasses current and past events

All returns include reinvestment of dividends and are gross of management fees and performance fees. The calculations are based in Canadian Dollars, the base currency; all non-base currencies are converted to the base currency at the close of each period. The material in this analysis was generated using Interactive Brokers' PortfolioAnalyst tool. Since February 1, 2023, the performance analysis shows the overall performance data of all accounts on National Bank Independent Network (NBIN) platform. The calculations are based in US Dollars, and the material in this analysis was generated using Croesus Software through NBIN custodian system. The average 3 month Daily Treasury Bill Rate for the same period was 1.77%. This was the risk free rate used to calculate the Sharpe ratio, the Sortino ratio, the downside deviation and the standard deviation.
