Multi-Strategy CTA
A single platform that allocates risk across trend, carry, short-term, RV, and sometimes options — a house of sleeves, not a style-pure trend shop.
Definition
A risk committee (or an optimizer) budgets vol to families. The client sees one NAV. Style purity is gone on purpose. The due-diligence job is to reconstruct the sleeve weights and their worst joint month.
Why it matters
It can be a better standalone allocation than 100% slow trend. It can also hide a short-vol sleeve that ruins the crisis story.
Case
A 2020 book that was ‘diversified’ until every sleeve needed liquidity the same week. Multi-strat is not immune to a margin complex.
How to read it
Sleeve map and a month where they all lost. If they will not show it, assume it exists.
