We are a multi-strategy investment manager, driven to deliver superior long-term risk-adjusted returns for investors. We actively manage a portfolio to provide uncorrelated returns across all market conditions and minimize drawdowns.

Equities long-short, commodities, multi-asset arbitrage and macro are represented strategies. Our investment approach is grounded in deep fundamental economic, financial and quantitative research and analysis.

We use the breadth and depth of information and research to drive investment strategies and make data-driven investments. Our careful and thorough portfolio construction is supported by disciplined risk management.

Multiple strategies are the most effective diversification.

Long-term performance is best achieved by avoiding large declines.

Systematic active management, designed with human psychology in mind, is critical in uncertain regimes.

Alisio’s proprietary models adapt automatically to regime change.

The portfolio is mostly indifferent to market conditions. Equity and commodity positions are inherently hedged with risk management and continuous hedging overlaid.

We carry no mandate to mirror any index and refuse to chase performance.

Who
we are.
