Managed Futures / CTA Strategies
J8's innovative, systematic investment approach mitigates behavioural biases by removing emotion from decision-making, providing highly liquid diversified global market exposure through disciplined, formulaic futures management.
Solving the investment dilemmaBehavioral finance informs us that investors experience pain from losses twice as strong as pleasure from gains. We observe short-term thinking leading investors to chase performance, and conviction to hold on to loss making positions, while selling profitable trades prematurely.
To overcome such behavioral bias, J8 has developed an innovative, systematic investment approach. Our systematic managed futures strategies remove emotion from the investment decision process. They provide exposure to diversified global markets by analyzing independent return drivers to trade long, short, and spread positions systematically within a strict and formulaic risk management framework. |

Capital preservation and capital growth are at their core. The programs’ portfolio diversification properties and alternative streams of returns make it a compelling building block within an existing investment portfolio or stand-alone solution.
