Non-Directional Strategy
Renaissance is an APCS CTA program managed by Mr. Sam Sepetjian, one of Altavest's Senior Trading Advisors.
As a non-correlated alternative investment, Renaissance represents a diversification opportunity for traditional investors.
Renaissance’s primary non-directional strategy is to sell option premium on the S&P 500 futures contract via the sale of multi-
legged option spreads. Option premium is collected, with no uncovered or naked option positions traded, and risk and profit
thresholds are managed automatically via Altavest’s proprietary ThetaTrader algorithm.
Renaissance’s performance is designed to have low correlation with traditional asset classes such as stocks or bonds. Exposure to
the Renaissance Program is intended to enhance portfolio diversification, reduce beta risk, and offer an absolute return
opportunity.
