The Main Fund Strategy
Castle Hook utilizes a global opportunistic strategy which seeks to marry a discretionary macro
approach to asset class selection and the analysis of markets and economies with a bottoms-
up analytical framework for security selection. Castle Hook’s objective is to construct and
manage a concentrated portfolio of macro instruments, corporate securities and/or
commodities that optimizes risk/reward in any market environment.
Castle Hook’s investment philosophy is based upon a belief that top-down macroeconomic
analysis and bottoms-up security analysis should not be two distinct processes. Rather, each
is enhanced by the contributions of the other. Castle Hook believes that the best investment
opportunities arise when a security is identified that (a) benefits from a powerful
macroeconomic trend, (b) has its own idiosyncratic investment merits independent of macro
variables, and (c) exhibits attractive technical characteristics. Castle Hook supplements its
primary investment strategy with more opportunistic trading strategies, such as an equity
capital markets strategy that seeks to generate returns from participating in new issues and
block trades.
The Carbon Opportunity Fund Strategy
The investment objective of the Carbon Master Fund is to achieve capital appreciation over
time through investments in North American carbon markets with an initial focus on California
carbon allowances ("CCAs"), which are compliance instruments of the cap-and-trade
greenhouse gas emission reduction program established under the laws of the State of
California. The Carbon Master Fund will initially seek to access such carbon markets through
investments in CCA futures and options on futures contracts, and the Carbon Master Fund
may in the future invest in physical carbon allowances.
Castle Hook’s approach is based on modeling future sector-level carbon emissions within the
jurisdictions of the relevant cap-and-trade programs, and then evaluating the extent to which
those projected emissions might be above or below the emissions cap in the program, taking
into account the resulting trajectory of the inventory of allowances in the market. Based on
the projected surplus or shortfall, Castle Hook seeks to identify prices that would create supply
and demand balance in the allowance market and capitalize on differences between those
prices and the prices in the futures and physical carbon markets. Castle Hook seeks to closely
follow regulatory developments at the governing agencies as well as the relevant legislative
bodies as they consider rule changes and extensions of the programs to help inform realistic
price objectives and downside risks. Castle Hook also seeks to monitor and use the options
market opportunistically when opportunities arise to increase risk adjusted returns to
fundamental price objectives.
