Primary Objectives
After six years of research and development based on forty-seven years of back-testing analysis and optimization by a prodigious team with over eight decades of combined experience, Dalma’s hedge fund recently began accepting new investors in July of this year.
The Dalma Unified Return Fund deploys a dynamic global equity strategy with the objective of delivering efficient diversification and a positively asymmetric, absolute return profile while maintaining mitigated market risk-parity. The risk-centric approach capitalizes on the expectation that markets exhibit cycles, momentum (trends) and statistical arbitrage opportunities. These predictable patterns are driven by market (endogenous), economic (exogenous) and behavioral factors. Dalma utilizes a fully unified approach of fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis and invests its diversified portfolio primarily in developed market indices, sectors and large/mid cap index constituents.

Performance
Risk-Adjusted Returns
The Dalma Unified Return Fund has generated robust performance since its inception. It has significantly outperformed its benchmark, the Hedge Fund Research Equity Hedge Index (HFRX - EH) on both an absolute and risk adjusted basis.
As the fund has been optimized and developed to maximize risk adjusted returns - we believe that the Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio and Gain:Loss Ratio are demonstrative of the fund’s effectiveness in delivering results with limited volatility and downside by following the risk-parity protocol. Furthermore, the fund has generated both absolute and asymmetric performance to date, capturing positive returns on average even in bear markets and generating an alpha above the S&P 500 (SPX) equity index of 13.929. The low correlation and beta of the fund to the equity indices are particularly characteristic and support results observed in the extensive back-testing conducted - demonstrating the virtue of the fund as a powerful diversifier for investors’ portfolios.
