Investment Strategy
Carlson employs various investment strategies, including Corporate Catalyst, Macro Investments, and Equity Long/Short strategies. These strategies are allocated to client accounts based on their governing documents and investment guidelines. The allocation may be adjusted depending on market conditions, economic trends, and other factors, with some strategies being overweighted, underweighted, or even having nominal capital allocation at times. The Macro Investments Strategy aims to hedge market risk and generate absolute returns by identifying cheap optionality and trading with an asymmetric return function, primarily using liquid index options and futures across equities, rates, credit, and forex. Equity Long/Short strategies seek to profit from situations where the price movement of an individual equity security is not highly correlated or easily hedged, often focusing on catalysts, fundamental developments, and defined timeframes for value realization. Carlson balances investments across strategies to minimize exposures to the market, macro themes, and sector rotations.
