Optimus Capital Management Inc. is an alternative investment manager, registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and a member of the National Futures Association, specializing in Managed Futures programs for qualified individuals and institutional investors seeking opportunities through a complete spectrum of global investment vehicles in commodity futures contracts and options.
Optimus Capital Management’s primary objective is to provide investors with superior returns under any market conditions while maintaining a favorable risk to reward ratio. Our success depends on our disciplined, quantitative and systematic approach to the commodity futures markets. Each trade is analyzed to determine position-sizing and whether the risk/reward characteristics fit within our objectives.
We approach the markets in an objective, rational and non-judgmental manner with minimal discretionary input, thereby minimizing the impact of subjective decision-making.
“On the occasions of the S&P 500®’s worst two declines during the past decade, managed futures recorded net profits of 9.7% and 18.6%. A study by the University of Massachusetts Finance Professor Thomas Schneeweis compared the S&P’s worst twelve months and found that managed futures posted gains during both periods.
An important advantage of futures is the opportunity they provide to respond swiftly on a highly leveraged basis whenever and wherever in the financial and commodity markets major price movements occur – either upward or downward – and to do so without liquidating other investment holdings or adding to overall portfolio risk.”
