BlackBird Alpha Spread 1x (Legal Name: BlackBird Alpha LLC Series 2)

BlackBird Alpha Spread (BAS) targets high returns* to risk ratio with no correlation to traditional assets by focusing on commodity spreads.
BAS alpha is generated by its unique approach using quantitative and qualitative analysis to select uncorrelated spreads in commodity markets. BAS trades commodity calendar, cross products and location spreads with a global reach (CBOT, CME, ICE, NYMEX, Euronext, Kuala Lumpur, Winnipeg etc.). First, we select the spreads with the strongest statistical signals from our modelisation based on advanced statistics and a large database containing futures prices, cash prices, CFTC Commitment of Traders, USDA, FX, exports etc. Second, within this selection, we use our fundamental knowledge and cash contacts to make a qualitative selection. Lastly, BAS builds a portfolio containing more than 15 of the uncorrelated selected spreads. The portfolio targets a 7.5 % volatility and risk by spread is limited.
The strategy has been traded successfully* since 2011.

*There is a substantial risk of loss in trading futures.
