About Us

At Levant Capital, our business is research for institutional investors, a group we think is underserved in today’s investment climate. We provide wholly independent analysis and trade recommendations with the objective of absolute returns on capital. We develop investment strategies for institutional investors worldwide in an environment of complete transparency and full liquidity.

Levant Capital uses directional investment strategies on market indexes, commodities and other asset classes, primarily by way of the most liquid exchange traded funds (ETFs). ETFs were the big winners of the credit crisis. At the end of 2009, ETF's assets under management (AUM) had grown to more than $1 trillion.

Our firm was founded by Peter Levant, who began his career with some of the world’s largest investment firms. He started in administration and trade execution and later moved into research, specializing in technical analysis. Mr. Levant managed a commodity futures trading desk and later founded the proprietary research firm, Northern Advisors, before founding Levant Capital in 2007.
