Matterhorn - A Long/Short Equity Strategy

Matterhorn uses statistics to take advantage of the price actions of different securities. The strategy invests in financial instruments representing: US equities, US bonds and commodities. The price action of any given security is looked at as a function of equity market volatility. This parameter is then used to define entry and exit prices and the amount of capital to allocate per trade. The downside risk and strategy volatility is mitigated by applying the same investment methodology to different asset classes. The combined strategy then has a reduced drawdown and volatility compared to applying this investment methodology individually to each security. A near-risk parity approach is used to allocate capital to each of the securities that the strategy plans to invest in. The strategy never engages any risk-undefined trade.

HEDGE FUND MANAGER

Vittorio Manente - The Manager Behind Matterhorn

Vittorio Manente has worked as program manager and strategy analyst for the last 16 years within the automotive and Oil&Gas sectors. Vittorio became passionate about finance in summer 2011 when he saw opportunities to profit after a market meltdown. Not satisfied by the performances of financial products available for retail investors, he decided to create his own. In 2017 Vittorio launched NEXT-alpha, a quantitative macro strategy to deliver consistent returns independently on the market direction. He then founded Alpha Growth Capital in 2019.
