CAPITAL OPTIMIZATION
Electraphysics Capital Optimization is a multi-strategy hedge fund focused on constructing structurally diversified, mathematically coherent portfolios for long-duration institutional capital. Electraphysics applies quantitative precision and volatility-conscious investment techniques to produce uncorrelated, absolute return streams across a range of global macroeconomic regimes.
Our pension strategy has historically achieved annualized Sharpe ratios above 1.5 with volatility under 7%. These metrics position Electraphysics as a compelling complement to core fixed income and public equity portfolios, particularly for pension plans seeking return enhancement, risk diversification, and capital preservation.
Electraphysics Capital Optimization was founded on the belief that market inefficiencies, when identified and acted upon through rigorous mathematical processes, can deliver repeatable risk-adjusted performance.
The core strategy integrates long/short equity models, volatility arbitrage, macro overlays, and non-directional, factor-neutral positions. Each sub-strategy is modeled to operate independently under varying macroeconomic conditions, with a combined portfolio engineered to minimize systemic correlation exposure.
Risk modeling rooted in high-dimensional covariance structure analysis: Electraphysics utilizes advanced statistical methods to understand latent relationships among thousands of securities, identifying clusters, correlations, and outliers across sectors, asset classes, and volatility regimes.
Portfolio construction designed to reduce concentration and inter-asset dependency: Risk capital is allocated to ensure no single position or theme dominates the return profile, ensuring portfolio durability across macro cycles.
Continuous monitoring of regime shifts, macroeconomic dislocations, and volatility clustering: The investment process adapts to market conditions in real time, leveraging macroeconomic overlays to reposition risk exposure.
Adaptive rebalancing mechanics to ensure alignment with forward-looking factor expectations: Portfolio weights are continuously adjusted based on factor projections, ensuring exposures remain consistent with return and risk objectives.
Focus on both ensemble stability and tail-risk containment across strategy components: Each sub-strategy is tested under extreme market conditions to reduce drawdowns, protect principal, and maintain portfolio integrity during crises.
The result is a multi-strategy engine optimized for stability and resilience, without reliance on directional beta or discretionary allocation. The platform is engineered to support policy portfolios constrained by liability duration, governance oversight, and political visibility.
Electraphysics strategies are designed to address multiple structural challenges that defined benefit pension plans confront in today's capital markets.
Defined benefit plans are acutely sensitive to fluctuations in funded status, often caused by interest rate shifts, asset performance, and demographic revisions. Electraphysics provides consistent, low-volatility return streams that reduce reliance on equity beta and fixed income duration, helping smooth funding trajectories and reduce actuarial volatility.
Plans operating below target funding levels require investment solutions that improve returns without increasing systemic risk. With a historical Sharpe ratio consistently above 1.5, Electraphysics delivers highly efficient return per unit of risk, contributing positively to the long-term average return needed to support actuarial discount rates.
Weekly liquidity supports payout obligations, cash rebalancing needs, and tactical adjustments without locking capital in long-duration private markets. This frequency enables CIOs and investment teams to maintain agility in managing unforeseen plan liabilities or overlay rebalancing.
Pension plans are often under scrutiny from legislative committees, labor boards, and public stakeholders. Electraphysics supports transparent, auditable, and consultant-compatible reporting that aligns with these elevated standards, helping mitigate reputational and governance risk.
Asset-liability management frameworks require non-duration-sensitive sources of return that complement fixed income overlays. Electraphysics strategies offer low-duration, high-alpha potential instruments that integrate cleanly with liability-driven investment mandates and actuarial cash flow structures.
Plan sponsors require scalable solutions with transparent cost structures. Electraphysics supports flexible, tiered fee arrangements, aligned GP co-investment, and scale incentives that preserve net return efficiency while ensuring long-term manager alignment.
Pension plans demand a level of operational transparency and liquidity tailored to fiduciary obligations and payout obligations.
Weekly liquidity with clear notice periods and no redemption gates triggered since inception. The liquidity structure is supported by liquid instruments and risk systems that model asset-level redemption impact.
Third-party fund administration ensures clean NAVs and valuation consistency. Custodial segregation, independent audits, and reconciled pricing support institutional confidence.
Frameworks mirror those used by leading pension consultants, enabling seamless integration into plan-level dashboards, risk summaries, and investment policy benchmarks.
Multi-dimensional attribution across sectors, styles, macro regimes, and volatility drivers gives trustees, boards, and actuaries clarity into the true drivers of plan-level return.
Electraphysics prepares governance packs that include forward-looking return scenarios, funded ratio simulations, and stress-tested asset class contributions, aiding in ALM committee and board-level discussions.
Electraphysics is fully committed to transparency and progressive regulatory engagement, with intention to pursue formal registration in alignment with future scaling and onboarding of regulated institutional capital.
Active roadmap to register under OSC, SEC, or FCA frameworks as investor base expands. Consulting legal counsel and compliance providers to formalize filings.
Electraphysics observes SOC-1 audit practices, conducts internal risk reviews, and performs quarterly board-style oversight exercises.
All documentation commonly required for pension plan due diligence is available: Draft Form ADV, operational due diligence questionnaire (ODDQ), investment strategy materials, and policies on trade allocation, conflicts of interest, and counterparty risk.
Pension plans selecting hedge fund strategies require alignment beyond performance.
Fund principals maintain a share of their net worth invested alongside LPs, reinforcing alignment of interest and accountability.
Strategies can be modified to reflect specific ESG screens, cash flow objectives, or jurisdictional constraints. Electraphysics works with consultants and staff to ensure fiduciary alignment.
Built on cloud-native infrastructure, architecture scales with new mandates, minimizing fixed overhead and enabling controlled onboarding of institutional capital.
Education sessions, board-ready materials, and collaborative review processes are designed to meet the expectations of pension fiduciaries accustomed to deep scrutiny and documentation.
Electraphysics Capital Optimization delivers a quantitatively engineered, structurally risk-aware alternative solution for pension plan CIOs, trustees, and consultants.
Whether the objective is alpha generation, funded ratio protection, or volatility-neutral return enhancement, the MNLSH platform is structured for actuarial credibility, operational resilience, and fiduciary fit.
