Galtere manages a global macro hedge fund that focuses on the commodity markets. The firm's flagship strategy is distinguished from pure commodity strategies and from traditional global macro strategies by blending elements of both. They approach the markets from a distinctive standpoint paying close attention to how commodity fundamentals influence other asset classes. Typically, commodities make up the bulk of their portfolio, with the next largest exposure in foreign exchange, followed by fixed-income and equity trades. Galtere combines discretionary theme-based investment selections with a proprietary technical process for pricing and risk management. Their returns generally have a very low correlation to most asset classes while offering low volatility. Galtere's investment philosophy is forward looking and incorporates historical perspective. The firm believes this hybrid view of global opportunities is an integral part of investment success. Galtere seeks to provide absolute and uncorrelated returns through a detailed, top-down investment process which is combined with disciplined bottom-up risk management. The firm focuses on identifying future trends to recognize new investment patterns and regime shifts that may dynamically alter global markets and uses this input to structure long-term investment themes. Galtere also manages a strategy that involves private equity investments across a diverse range of global agribusiness opportunities. The firm's investment universe includes arable farmland, livestock and crop production, irrigation and water management, agricultural warehousing and yield-enhancing technologies. Investments in this strategy have a minimum investment horizon of 7 years.
