Why Efficient?
Efficient Capital exists to maximize the unique benefits of Managed Futures for institutions and individuals around the world.
Our investment edge comes from the following:
Who We Are
Our core values speak to who we aspire to be and how we intend to do our work.
Service
It’s an old-fashioned concept to some, but at Efficient, it is a way of doing business that reflects who we are. We want to know the needs of our clients, service partners and colleagues and seek to exceed those needs. Ultimately, we put others first.
Innovation
In a world of constant change, creativity and critical thinking are necessary to stay relevant and effective. We constantly look for better ways to do business and serve our clients.
Excellence
Only our best is acceptable and we expect the best out of each other. We don’t cut corners, we don’t find excuses, and we don’t settle for “good enough”. We take our responsibility as fiduciary partners seriously and seek to bring excellence to our individual jobs and the entire profession.
Character
We will honor God and reflect His character. Although we come from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds, we share a common conviction that what we do flows from who we are and what we believe. Our passion is to be people of integrity, trustworthiness, honesty and humility.
Meet Our Team
Our team brings experience from a diverse set of backgrounds.

Blinded By Bias | Challenges in Managed Futures Manager Selection
Manager selection in managed futures is difficult because "past performance is not indicative of future results." We demonstrate that backtested CTA portfolios with hindsight bias do not perform as well in the future as they did in the past.
CTA Crisis Alpha | A Silver Lining for Turbulent Markets
Crisis alpha is one of the key reasons for investing in CTAs. We show that a diversified multi-manager approach is essential to insure capturing crisis alpha.
The Value of Diversification in CTA Investments
Dispersion between CTAs is high with no predictability or persistence of peak performers or relative rankings. Diversified CTA portfolios have higher stability and reduce idiosyncratic manager risk.
