Strategy

Structured products desk: covered-call vaults, principal-protected DeFi yield, and selective LP positioning. Composite includes flagship plus a single managed account.

Composite construction

All discretionary fee-paying accounts following this strategy are included in the composite per GIPS Provision 3.A. The engagement memo enumerates the in-scope entities and any sub-advised accounts that would otherwise meet the discretion criteria but are excluded for documented reasons.

Composite dispersion is reported as the asset-weighted standard deviation of constituent account returns. 3-year ex-post standard deviation is reported once 36 months of composite history is available.

Annual return breakdown

Trailing-window annualized returns. For verified strategies with full calendar-year history we publish calendar-year returns alongside; this preview uses rolling 12-month windows from the most recent month.
