Sweater’s Post

Proud to share an exclusive interview between our founder Phil Pecsok and Susan Barreto (she/her) of Alternatives Watch! A big topic for the conversation was Anacapa’s unique approach to hedge fund management, and how the firm has consistently generated strong returns for investors – often far exceeding traditional benchmarks. Anacapa Alpha for example was up 32.4% last year and the Quantum fund returned 59.5%. Despite market uncertainties, Phil emphasizes the importance of staying invested, avoiding panic, and focusing on short-term options trading - a strategy that keeps us agile and competitive for any market uncertainties that might come our way. While there may be a choppier market over the next five years, there are opportunities for savvy investors who stay the course.

Pursuing ETF Share Classes: The Right Thing to Do for Investors ETF share classes already bring benefits to many investors. In fact, more than $2 trillion in assets are currently invested in ETF share classes in the US, despite being available only through a single fund group that obtained relief from the SEC decades ago. Gerard O'Reilly, Co-CEO and Chief Investment Officer for Dimensional Fund Advisors, writes that other markets outside the US also recognize the benefits of ETF share classes, including in Europe and Australia. #etfs #etfinvesting #retailinvestors #taxefficiency https://lnkd.in/dcXt5NCE
