Fides + Ratio AM
At Fides + Ratio Asset Management we believe that distinctive returns can only be found where no-one else is looking.
For more than 15 years, we’ve been analyzing hedge funds and trading programs. Over and again we have found that niche commodity traders deliver returns completely unrelated to other asset classes.
But, these traders are hard to find and limited in capacity. We think of them as “artisan traders”.
We find them, we vet them, we hire them. We blend their strategies into specialized programs designed to minimize variance and draw-down.
For the family office and institutional investor, we provide cost-effective access to over-looked and under-loved providers of diversification.
