Investment Methodology
The management of Nautical has over 70 years of combined experience in the commodity asset class and investing. Our business model is based on providing all manner of commodity investments in order to provide potential clients with a comprehensive commodity asset solution. Nautical has developed proprietary investment and trading products that range from enhanced Beta-oriented strategies, like the Active Commodity Index (ACI©) to Alpha oriented products such as the systematic, quantitative Active Commodity Strategy (ACS).
The products range from the active indexes to high Sharpe ratio fundamental market neutral programs to discretionary market directional strategies which exploit the inefficiencies inherent in commodity markets. Each of these investments may be tailored to meet an individual clients risk/reward tolerance levels in order for their Nautical allocation to fit comfortably within their investment portfolio and help them achieve their overall investment goals.
Some of the ways Nautical is able to meet these commodity asset allocation needs is through superior structured product design, historical data analysis, commodity asset allocation analysis, quantitative modeling, managed funds, and strategic trade execution. Proprietary analytic models and systematic algorithms developed by Nautical are utilized in the trade decision making process. These models are comprehensive in nature and examine all technical aspects of the commodity marketplace.

These include correlation analyses, price trend recognition, mean reversion patterns, seasonality patterns, volume and open interest trends, Commitment of Trader report analysis, volatility spectrum analysis, and other proprietary programs. An additional advantage Nautical utilizes is the unique data set created specifically for use in the Active Commodity Index (ACI©).
The ability to analyze data publically available is useful but analyzing data in alternative ways allows Nautical to uncover opportunities that evade other analytic trading and investment mechanical systems. Even with this superior analytic framework, Nautical’s other real strength is its ability to analyze and interpret fundamental information and coordinate investment and trading themes that can capitalize on these trends.
The complimentary skill sets of experienced Nautical personnel allows them to develop investment and trading ideas that are thoughtful and geared towards optimal success. Nautical is able to offer a host of complimentary services that will easily integrate with investors existing asset allocation needs. The diversification benefits of Nautical strategies and expertise in the area of commodity based investing will allow our clients to achieve their commodity investment goals.
