Strategy

Levant Capital performs research and analysis of macro markets. We employ a market directional strategy with a discretionary technical trading style. Levant Capital specializes in absolute return strategies. The firm utilizes its proprietary modeling and research methodologies to separate real market action from the everyday market noise.

The markets have never been more exciting and challenging than today. Global trade imbalances, credit derivatives and the U.S. real estate bubble had contributed to the financial crisis of 2008 and massive deleveraging. In such volatile markets, our research department identifies viable risk-adjusted opportunities. We use both position sizing and money management policies in our strategies.

In 2009, the global markets rebounded with the support of massive government stimulus. However, 2010 could be challenging as we cope with a multitude of uncertainties and complexities. There are many questions. How will the markets operate in a near zero interest rate environment? Can we begin to correct unsustainable trade imbalances and increasing Debt-to-GDP ratios without suffering too much pain? Who will lead the global economy, the developed or developing countries? Going forward, will we measure risk properly or do we still think that we can magically compute it away with inventive models? These are challenges, but these challenges also create opportunities.

Meanwhile, the world’s continued shift towards capitalism, globalization and technology has created highly efficient market structures. Market mechanisms have virtually no latency — the proverbial butterfly flapping its wings in one part of the world can be instantaneously felt across the globe. At Levant Capital, we help you take full advantage of that reality.
