February 2024 : 7.50% Return, 10.97% YTD
Building Momentum.
At Solimar Fund, our journey began almost four years ago with the humble beginnings of our algorithmic trading system. After months of dedicated coding and rigorous testing, we took our first steps in trading operations on July 1st, 2020, marking a significant milestone in our pursuit of excellence. In the years since, we’ve remained focused on continuous improvement, leveraging innovative technology and data analytics to refine our algorithm while minimizing risk.
Fast forward to October 2023, and the culmination of our efforts led to the launch of the Solimar Fund. Since then, our commitment to delivering value to our investors has been at the forefront of everything we do. We are humbled to report that February marked our fourth consecutive month of positive gains with a return of 7.50% net of fees, compared to the S&P 500’s return of 5.17%. Our year-to-date returns are 10.97% net of fees compared to the S&P 500’s return of 6.84%. As we grow our expanding network of family offices, institutional allocators, and qualified investors, it is becoming increasingly evident that we have something folks are keen to invest in.
Our ethos revolves around prudent risk management and sustainable growth. We are pleased to report that the Fund’s performance aligns closely with our backtested results, which project the potential to double the S&P's return while assuming only half the risk (over 3 to 5 yrs). This achievement not only reflects our strategic investment approach but also highlights the efficacy of our methodologies in delivering superior results.
Our algorithm’s backtested results boast a Sharpe ratio of 2.11 over the previous 5 years. This remarkable achievement underscores the consistency of our investment strategy in generating superior risk-adjusted returns. A Sharpe ratio above 2 signifies a compelling balance between return and risk, indicating that our algorithm consistently delivers meaningful returns while effectively managing volatility. This is crucial for investors seeking stability and consistent growth in their portfolios. And more importantly for the quants out there, our Sortino ratio is in the mid 3 range over the same period which demonstrates that the volatility that we do experience is larger on the upside than the downside. We embrace upside volatility!
A great first 5 months.
Our first five months have been nothing short of exceptional, laying a solid foundation for our fund's track record. While we're thrilled with our initial success, we're committed to the long haul, eagerly anticipating the annual return metrics that will unfold over the next decade. With a keen focus on sustainable growth and value creation, we're poised to deliver consistent returns and forge enduring relationships with our investors for years to come.
As we continue on this journey, we remain steadfast in our commitment to top of class risk adjusted returns, transparency, and above all, delivering value to our investors.
Thank you for being part of the Solimar Fund family. If you haven’t already, join us as we embark on a journey of continued success and prosperity.
Warm regards,
Geoffrey & Tyler
