Sunofia Capital Management, LLC, a global asset management firm specializing in systematic strategies, today announced plans to launch a market neutral strategy.<\/p>\n
The strategy will initially invest in European and Japanese liquid equities and will subsequently add liquid North American and global stocks. The strategy will be managed by Dr. Moustapha Awada who has over 17 years of trading, portfolio and risk management experience.\u00a0 Dr. Awada has an investment record dating back to 2005 when he was\u00a0Managing Director and Global Head of the Multi-Asset Systematic Trading Group at\u00a0Dresdner Bank. Sunofia\u2019s quantitative models have been developed by Dr. Awada over many years and market cycles, supported by his lengthy track record.<\/p>\n
Dr. Awada began his career in academia as a theoretical physicist. After receiving his Ph.D. from Imperial College, London, Dr. Awada completed three post-doctoral fellowships, including one from Cambridge University where he was supervised by Dr. Stephen Hawking. In 1993, Dr. Awada moved from academia to quantitative trading, joining Morgan Stanley. Dr. Awada later held senior positions at BNP Paribas and Chase Manhattan Bank before running the Multi-Asset Systematic Trading Group at Dresdner Bank, where he further developed the IP that is at the heart of his current strategy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very excited to work with Dr. Awada whom I have known for many years,\u201dsaid Pulse Managing Partner Ibrahim Gharghour. \u201cWe believe Sunofia\u2019s approach to investing is highly differentiated by its alpha generating ability and robust risk management processes.\u201d\u00a0Pulse Capital Partners, LLC (\u201cPulse\u201d) partners with next generation hedge fund managers to institutionalize and accelerate their growth and will be working very closely with Sunofia to grow and support their investor base.<\/p>\n
The core strategy at Sunofia is built on a statistical arbitrage framework, trading high frequency signals via mean reversion and momentum-driven strategies. The investment process aims to provide investors with high risk-adjusted returns with low volatility product offering, driven by sophisticated models that regularly adapt to changing market conditions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have developed\u00a0and enhanced\u00a0Sunofia\u2019s models over the last 15 years.\u00a0What\u00a0distinguishes Sunofia from our peers in the market are our proprietary algorithms,\u00a0which have proven time and time again the consistency of our performance not only in normal but also in distressed market conditions,\u201d said Dr. Awada. \u201cWe believe that our strategy offers investors a differentiated source of alpha generation.\u201d<\/p>\n
