Investment Overview
Strategy Description
Veerpoint Capital's ContraCOT Program is a fully systematic global macro futures trading strategy that leverages the CFTC's Commitments of Traders ("COT") data to gauge market positioning and pinpoint favorable risk-reward opportunities when Speculators are over-concentrated. Proprietary technical analysis is employed to confirm moves and trade against (or "Contra" to) the Speculators, yielding a strategy uncorrelated to both traditional assets and other CTAs. The program executes trades in a diversified basket of 30+ domestic financial and commodity markets including equity indices, currencies, interest rates, energies, metals, grains & oilseeds, meats, softs, and the VIX.
