"Take risk to generate a profit in a way that downside is limited — so that losses are contained, and do not accumulate to a point of stop-out."
Former hedge fund Portfolio Manager. I trade my own account live on the ASX and share every position, alert, and market call — daily. Built for investors who want to actively manage their portfolio with institutional discipline.
A rules-based long/short strategy run across the ASX All Ords universe with a large-cap bias. The portfolio carries 30–50 positions at all times, with low net exposure designed to generate returns through stock selection — not market beta.
Core positions are held where longer-term thematic conviction exists. Tactical positions respond to near-term momentum, relative value, and risk events. All positions are governed by hard risk rules — no exceptions.

"Aim for many relatively small wins among a few occasional larger losses."Nick Dekker — Core Trading Principle · Paltarra Capital
The strategy runs with consistently low net market exposure — meaning long positions are substantially offset by short positions. This is not a directional bet on the ASX going up.
Returns are generated through stock selection and relative value — being right on individual names, not riding the index. This provides meaningful downside protection in market sell-offs.
Core positions are held with longer-term thematic conviction. Tactical positions are shorter-duration trades around specific setups, events, or relative dislocations. Both are always governed by position-level and portfolio-level risk rules.
