SUMMARY

Overview

Trium ArKa is a Global Equity Event Driven Strategy that seeks to monetise the price dislocations created by index rebalance events. Index providers such as MSCI, FTSE Russell, S&P and STOXX periodically adjust their constituents, creating large and predictable flows from passive and benchmark-aware investors that can create liquidity-driven market impact. The Strategy trades the full lifecycle of each event, from pre-announcement positioning, through the announcement-to-implementation window, to post-implementation reversion. It combines systematic, rules-based analysis of index methodologies, asset-manager flows and crowding with multi-layer hedging that isolates event alpha from broader market, sector, style and currency exposures. Alongside scheduled rebalances across developed and emerging markets, the Strategy also trades ad-hoc corporate events such as M&A, capital raises and fast-track index inclusions. It is available as a Cayman fund or via managed account.

Investment Objective

The Strategy targets low double-digit returns throughout the cycle with low correlation to equity markets.
