The momentum component captures assets with strong, persistent price trends, while the carry strategy seeks to profit from funding rates and related statistical price distortions. Both have been inspired by the academic literature, with proprietary enhancements.

Together, these factors create a diversified return stream designed to outperform in a range of market conditions.
