THE INVESTMENT APPROACH
quantumrock Absolute Return VSOP's AI and ML-based investment approach aims for market-independent returns via a combination of different alpha sources in equities (S&P500), fixed income (10-Year US Treasury) and volatility (VIX).
Particular emphasis is placed on strategies designed to generate Crisis Alpha through the timing of volatility (VIX) and the underlying equity market (S&P500) during crises.
With this dynamic absolute return strategy, implemented through derivatives, we can identify different performance sources and, at the same time, achieve dynamic protection in strongly falling markets by adding temporary Crisis Alpha.
quantumrock Absolute Return VSOP is, therefore, an optimal diversifier in broader asset allocations and expected to improve the risk-return ratio of most client portfolios.

Definition of gross / net returns
Gross performance takes into account all costs incurred at portfolio level (e.g. trading costs) and assumes reinvestment of any distributions. Costs incurred at client level, such as management and performance fees, are not included. Net performance also takes into account management fees and performance fees. Not included are individual costs of the investor, such as a custody fee.
