WHAT WE DO
Gresham offers a range of diversified strategies that seek to offer our clients the benefits of systematic exposure to a wide range of commodities and commodity groups through instruments including commodity futures, forward options, and over-the-counter commodity contracts. Commodities are tangible assets such as oil, gold, and wheat. Like non-tangible assets (such as stocks and bonds), commodities offer the potential for investment return with associated risk.
Our flagship strategies, which include our proprietary Tangible Asset Program® (TAP®) and Risk Dispersing Portfolio (RDP) strategies, use 30 years of data to provide investors with diversified exposure to commodities. These strategies use systematic trading to provide a hedge against inflation.
Our enhanced commodities strategies are broadly diversified, long-only commodities futures strategies. These strategies are benchmarked against the Bloomberg Commodity Index and seek to provide investors with the same exposure while providing better risk-adjusted returns.
Gresham’s absolute return strategies use state-of-the-art quantitative trading models. GreshamQuant systematically applies modern trend-following technology to globally diversified alternative markets.
