About Us

At Levant Capital, our business is research for institutional investors, a group we think is still underserved in today’s investment climate. We provide wholly independent analysis and trade recommendations with the objective of absolute returns on investment. We develop strategies for institutional investors 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 futures contracts and 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.

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