Strategy & Manager
Funds Strategy
The Strategy intends to gain exposure to global exchange-traded futures markets (equity indices, bonds, interest rates, currencies and commodities), all in accordance with Quantica’s proprietary systematic investment strategy. It aims to detect and take advantage of medium-term trend-following market inefficiencies in the futures markets. It has low long-term correlation to traditional asset classes and offers diversification to both traditional and non-traditional investment portfolios. The Fund is highly style-consistent and follows a robust approach.

Investment Manager's Commentary
as of 30/04/2026Fund
The Quantica Managed Futures (QMF) UCITS Fund generated a net return of +4.3% in April 2026, bringing year-to-date net performance to +4.6%.
Equities were the primary driver of performance during the month, led by gains in Asia-Pacific and European benchmark indices. Commodities also contributed positively, reflecting gains in the Program’s long exposures across the energy complex and selective opportunities in agricultural markets.
Currencies added more modestly to performance, supported by gains in long Emerging Market exposures against the U.S. Dollar. Fixed income and rates were broadly neutral, as limited positioning resulted in a negligible impact on overall returns. Notably, there were no significant detractors to performance during the month.
With March’s elevated cross-asset volatility carrying into April, many of the prior month’s cross-asset price moves – falling equities, rising rates, and a stronger U.S. Dollar – failed to follow through, leaving medium- to long-term trends largely unchanged. Against this backdrop of elevated short-term noise, the QMF Program’s cross-asset positioning remained broadly stable month-over-month. The Program maintained a moderate net long equity exposure, led by Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Emerging Markets, reflecting the rebound in global equities from March lows. In commodities, while overall risk exposure remained stable, aggregate net notional positioning across sub-sectors shifted further to the long side, driven primarily by buying in agricultural markets.
Fixed income and rates continued to exhibit limited directionality, with risk exposure at the lower end and net notional positioning close to neutral. Similarly, currency positioning versus the U.S. Dollar showed limited directionality, with the Program’s moderate net long U.S. Dollar exposure only marginally increased.
Similar to last month, equities and commodities remain the primary contributors to portfolio risk, together accounting for approximately 70% of total risk and broadly evenly split, with fixed income, rates, and currencies comprising the remainder.
