Talon Eight Funds

Absolute Returns, Preservation of Wealth

Our strategies are robust, highly disciplined, and quantitatively driven. Mandate specific, downside risk protection is at the core of every portfolio.

Talon Eight funds respect leverage, are low margined, and are uncorrelated to other asset classes. We use a three dimensional process, incorporating total asset allocation, bidirectional trading strategies, and multiple investment time frames. Our funds are perfect as standalone strategies, and ideal as overlays to any existing portfolio consisting of traditional asset classes such as stocks and bonds.

Fund Highlights

With key tenets like low overall correlation, total transparency, global diversification and downside risk control, we deliver truly customized solutions which mitigate portfolio volatilty over an investing lifetime. Fund allocations are posted daily with profitability and net position size at the market, sector and system level, strategies represent international investments in up to 8 sectors and 40 markets.

Using 3 trading styles, 3 time frames, and numerous bidirectional trading systems, preservation of wealth protects capital and outperforms other investments in both up and down markets. Our quantifiable sell discipline ensures controlled year-over-year and peak-to-valley drawdown percentages and durations across all market cycles. Tax advantaged investment, Talon Eight funds offer distinct advantages over short-term, long only equity strategies that can require longer holding periods.
