Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The potential for profit is accompanied by the risk of loss.
Global Macro Absolute Return Strategy
Catalyst Partners manages discretionary capital for public and private institutions, individuals and corporations.
Catalyst develops dynamic investment strategies that are designed to extract positive returns, regardless of market direction. Our fund applies Catalyst’s best thinking to macro risks. Our goal is to produce highly asymmetrical return outcomes and, as a result, maximize wealth accumulation over time.
Catalyst applies deep and specialized industry expertise to develop high conviction, non-consensus views. Catalyst employs a nimble inter-disciplinary approach to pursue a broad spectrum of opportunities.
Long Only Strategy
We maintain a quantitative-value approach that is strongly based on empirical evidence. The quantitative approach is a mathematical treatment that is applied to recent price action as well as several other key process variables. This mathematical treatment provides a reliable screening indicator that also serves as an estimate for value. The value approach is not a precise intrinsic value estimate as defined in Graham and Dodd’s in “Security Analysis” but is rather an indicator of future value. The primary determinant for inclusion in the Catalyst portfolio is that a sufficient “margin of safety” exists between the price paid for an asset and a conservative projection of future value. This systematic investment approach provides a solid framework for the fund. Rather than being swayed by emotions, market sentiment, or short-term news, this thoughtful, deliberate quantitative approach assesses if investments meet the trigger for future value to buy or sell as appropriate.
