Take a listen to our latest podcast to hear why we think trading in and out of different volatility regimes in the commodity markets “like a woman” is a big PLUS. We talk with Kimberly Rios, portfolio manager of the Catalyst Hedged Commodity Strategy Fund about: the CFHIX mutual fund, meeting Muhammad Ali, being a woman in the male dominated asset management world, where commodity option liquidity is, OJ and Nicole Simpson, why buy and hold commodity investing sucks, missing senior prom, seasonality in Corn futures, why female hedge fund managers outperform males, working the Sydney Olympics, and navigating high and low volatility periods with vol as an asset class.
The Catalyst Hedged Commodity Strategy Fund seeks to provide positive returns in most market conditions with low correlation to the global equity and commodity markets by investing in dynamic option strategies using physical commodity futures contracts on Crude Oil, Gold, and Corn. Trades focus on volatility, seasonality, technical analysis and price; rather than attempting to forecast where the markets will be in the future.
