Strategy Architecture

Portfolio sleeves with distinct jobs and shared controls.

The ASTHATE strategy stack is structured around engine-level role clarity, measured allocation, and a single risk framework.

Yield Engine

Systematic carry and structured yield.

Focused on controlled income generation where exit clarity and duration discipline matter more than nominal yield alone.

Illustrative allocation band: 35% to 50%
Primary KPI: stable realized carry
Risk lens: duration, liquidity, venue quality

Automated Trading Engine

Signal-based execution in liquid markets.

Designed for repeatable tactical opportunities rather than discretionary macro conviction.

Illustrative allocation band: 20% to 35%
Primary KPI: disciplined risk-adjusted capture
Risk lens: realized drawdown and slippage

Strategic Investment Engine

Thesis-based allocations with written exit logic.

Longer-horizon sleeves are reserved for opportunities where asymmetry justifies slower capital rotation.

Illustrative allocation band: 15% to 30%
Primary KPI: thesis realization quality
Risk lens: concentration and thesis drift

Allocation Framework

Capital deployment is governed at the portfolio level.

Capital Rules

Mandate integrity comes before tactical opportunity.

No sleeve exceeds its approved deployment band without review.
Strategic positions cannot expand because short-term trading wins temporarily improve NAV.
Yield exposure is reduced when liquidity or unwind conditions deteriorate.

Execution Lifecycle

Every position follows a structured path.

01 / Qualify

Setup enters the approved universe

Capital is not deployed until mandate fit, liquidity, and scenario context are checked.

02 / Define

Sizing and exit logic are written first

Position scale, expected holding profile, and exit criteria are determined before execution.

03 / Execute

Orders are routed within venue controls

Execution quality is evaluated against liquidity and operational risk, not only price improvement.

04 / Review

Post-trade behavior informs mandate sizing

Trades feed back into allocation discipline, not into discretionary style drift.

Risk Overlay

The risk layer is shared even when strategies differ.

Sizing

Position-level ceilings

Individual trades and allocations are capped relative to engine and portfolio exposure tolerance.

Stress

Drawdown-triggered de-risking

Exposure is reduced through predefined action paths rather than informal judgment under pressure.

Governance

Recorded exceptions only

Departures from normal operating posture require documented rationale and review.
