August: A Momentary Dip, A Deeper Perspective

Markets and equity curves never move in straight lines, and we’re no exception. August brought trend following head-fakes that lead to a small monthly drawdown. A blip on our yearly return and a reminder that every strategy, no matter how robust, experiences turbulence. For us that is a great thing. Market turbulence allows us to put up strong annual numbers. Our strategies are not focused on every month of the year being positive but instead a positive total of those 12 months, and handsomely so.

Annual resilience is the mission, and doubling the SPY is our goal.

Eight months into the year, the SPY sits at +10.0% while Solimar stands at +20.0% net. A very clean doubling. The symmetry of these very round numbers made us pause, smile, and take a moment to celebrate. A simple, elegant snapshot of our goal in action.

Hitting this benchmark in real time reinforces our mandate: deliver strong, risk-managed results that compound meaningfully above the market. While each month will bring its own ebb and flow, what matters is the consistent goal of staying ahead of the tide.

Solution Architects

We launched 2by2 Capital five years ago. Long before Solimar was a fund, we built our multi-strategy system for ourselves — to meet a personal challenge: how to solve for exponential returns with such low risk that we could sleep at night, all year-long. We wanted to know that even while we rested, a cloud-based algorithm would monitor our portfolios, evaluating each opportunity through the lens of disciplined capital protection.

It is no surprise then that our ideal capital partners (ICP) want the same thing we do: a strategy designed for exponential growth, underpinned by risk systems that preserve capital and let you sleep soundly through the storms. The goal isn’t to time a single trade or obsess over daily or monthly noise — it’s to stay on course for years, even decades, where the compounding truly takes shape.

That perspective is exactly why we first became solution architects.

The target is ambitious but simple: a strategy resilient enough to weather storms, patient enough to compound, and strong enough to make doubling our portfolio every three years not just a dream but what we believe to be a practical expectation*. That same solution now forms the foundation of Solimar Fund — engineered to outpace the SPY two-to-one, year after year, with a focus on consistency and capital preservation so that no year is left in the red.

*Our long-term aspiration is to target compounded growth that could approximate a portfolio doubling every three years, though there is no guarantee such results will be achieved and individual results will vary based on entry point and length of investment.

Nearing Our Second Birthday : Looking for more Pioneers.

This fall, October 1st, marks two years since Solimar Fund launched with a small handful of ICP’s. Two years of building, learning, and proving our system in real time.
Two years of pioneering alongside investors who share our desire for sustainable, outsized returns with reduced long-term risk, and no down years.

We’re grateful for those early believers — the pioneers who joined us with the foresight to see that the most compelling stories in the hedge fund space, often start small, with managers still writing their first chapters.
