InstitutionalAlternative Investments
A multi-strategy platform allocating across quantitative equity and digital asset strategies, with independent risk management.
Independent Thinking
Investment decisions are made on our own research, across traditional and digital markets.
Institutional Risk Management
Portfolio construction begins with capital preservation. Positions are sized against a risk budget set in advance.
Diversified Allocation
Capital is allocated across specialist strategies with different return drivers. Quantitative equity and market-neutral digital assets are the first two.
Our Firm
KIOS Capital is an institutional multi-strategy alternative investment manager. We allocate across specialist strategies, among them quantitative equity and market-neutral digital assets. Risk is managed independently of the teams that trade.
We believe returns come from persistent market inefficiencies that can be identified through research and captured within a defined risk budget.
A repeatable process turns research into portfolios. Capital is allocated across specialist strategies and teams, and re-weighted as conditions change.
Our investment process, in four principles
Research & Manager Selection
Market and strategy analysis leads to a shortlist of capacity-constrained specialists. Each is assessed on a live track record and on operational and risk due diligence before any capital is committed.
Portfolio Construction
Ideas become portfolios through position sizing and diversification across managers. Correlation between strategies is measured before an allocation is increased.
Risk Management
Risk is managed independently of the trading teams, for the life of every allocation. We measure each position’s marginal contribution to portfolio risk and monitor it against hard limits.
Multi-asset Allocation
We allocate across equities and digital assets to diversify return sources. Weights are reviewed as positions and conditions change.
Market Neutral Digital Assets
Systematic and relative-value strategies in digital assets, seeking uncorrelated returns while minimising directional exposure.
Quantitative Equity Strategies
Systematic equity and derivatives strategies exploiting persistent market inefficiencies through statistical arbitrage, volatility arbitrage and relative-value trading.
Risk Runs Independently of P&L
Risk management comes before return targets. Every allocation is assessed on what it adds to portfolio risk and on the liquidity it requires, alongside its expected return.
24/7 monitoring
Crypto trades continuously and global markets span every time zone. Positions are monitored on the same basis, including weekends.
Hard limits
A hard 10% drawdown cap, per-manager VaR limits and concentration rules are enforced automatically and cannot be waived by a manager.
Custody and counterparties
Qualified custody and off-exchange settlement in crypto, prime-brokerage safeguards in equities, with capped exposure per counterparty.
One consolidated book
Every manager’s positions roll into a single consolidated risk book daily, with portfolio VaR, net and gross exposure, correlation and stress tested across assets.
Independent Oversight
Administration, valuation and reporting are performed by established institutional third parties, independently of the investment team. Investors can check what we report against the administrator’s records.
