Weekly Performance Update: Week of 4/21/25

Market Recap

After a down Monday, equites were strong for the week and closed near highs. Much of this is attributed to a softening tone from the White House on tariffs in the near term, possibly an overall shift in the stance that will be taken going forward.

The Week Ahead

The market is leaning fairly hard to the bullish side, with 5600 in sight for SPX. Of course at any moment in time there are a dozen or so outcomes (news driven) that could send things lower, all with varying degrees of intensity. We MAY start to see eco data come back into play starting with NFP on Friday. The ebb and flow of tariffs of course will be the determining factor.

Admin Notes

We are making some changes to both Hedge Fusion and Futures Focus; specifically expanding the Risk Budgets per unit from 15k to 25k for Hedge Fusion and 25k to 50k for Futures Focus. The reason for this is some structural changes in the types and quantity of trades, resulting in the weekly risk profiles increasing.

As a result, the performance metrics will 'reset' for each staring the week of 4/28/25. However, for transparency purposes the legacy performance for each will still be available on each Performance Page, at least until there is sufficient performance to capture the results of the enhancements. Likely 60-90 days minimum. In the meantime we will not accept any new clients for either strategy for at least 30 days.
