Octant’s experienced professionals have a singular focus on our clients and the pursuit of attractive investment strategies. We measure our performance not based on short-term investment gains or losses, but on the long-term
success of our clients and our investment strategies.

Active Investment Management

Octant creates strategies that are actively managed using a portfolio of algorithms that are created in an effort to exploit historical investor behavioral and market pricing patterns. These algorithms use current and recent market data to make daily adjustments to the portfolio based on the long-term, historical results of making similar adjustments in similar market circumstances.

Octant seeks to identify and profit from these historical investor behavioral and market pricing patterns by quantifying these patterns in a portfolio of proprietary algorithms.

Octant utilizes this portfolio of algorithms to dynamically, tactically and actively adjust its positions.

Octant's Philosophy & Approach

Deliberate Approach

Not "Gut Feel"

Octant believes a deliberate, historically tested and successful investment strategy is more likely to identify attractive investment opportunities than a “gut-feel”, historically untested approach to investing.

Markets are Inefficient

Particularly Short Term

Octant believes that markets are inefficient, particularly with respect to shorter time horizons. Octant believes there are identifiable behavioral and pricing patterns, or tendencies, in the market.

Risks Inherent to Investing

And Cannot Be Eliminated

Octant believes that risk is inherent in the process of investing. Octant seeks to intelligently address those risks inherent to its investment strategy, but understands that risk cannot be eliminated and strong returns should not be expected without also accepting the associated risk.

How Do Clients Typically Incorporate Octant's Strategies?
