Who we are
ADAPT was founded through the fortuitous meeting of Wayne Klump, a visionary strategist with a deep expertise in options trading, and Ryan Moffett, an experienced financial professional with a keen understanding of complex market dynamics. Wayne, the architect behind the renowned Sleep Well Portfolio, had already built a reputation for developing high-end strategies for affluent clients. Ryan, with his extensive background in financial management, brought complementary skills in structuring and delivering advanced financial solutions.
Together, they identified a gap in the market for an adaptive hedge fund that combines algorithmic options strategies with a macro-adaptive portfolio. This partnership led to the creation of ADAPT Alpha Partners, a firm that provides institutional-grade, specialized investment solutions designed to help investors navigate and capitalize on dynamic market conditions with consistency and precision.
A Smarter Approach to Investing: Hybrid Macro & High-Alpha Options
Looking for a strategy designed to deliver higher returns with strict risk controls? Explore how combining dynamic macro insights with a high-alpha options overlay can potentially reshape your portfolio’s performance. Below, we outline the core benefits of this dual-layered approach and why an experienced manager—like the team at ADAPT Alpha Partners—may be well-positioned to help you implement it.
Why Consider a Hybrid Macro & High-Alpha Options Approach?
1. Enhanced Return Potential
Macro Trend Advantage
By actively adjusting to economic indicators (GDP growth, interest rates, inflation), this approach aims to capture upside in growth phases and reduce risk exposure when signals turn negative.Options-Based Alpha
Skilled options trading on major indexes can exploit volatility mispricing, aiming to generate above-market returns—especially when markets are choppy.
2. Better Risk Management
Lower Drawdowns
Pairing diversified macro allocations with defensive (or opportunistic) options positions can help keep portfolio drawdowns in the single-digit range.Adaptive Hedging
When macro data indicates a downturn, protective options strategies like spreads or puts can be deployed to mitigate sudden market drops.
3. Lower Correlation to Traditional Markets
More Stable Performance
Macro allocations might not move in lockstep with typical equity benchmarks, while an options overlay often derives returns from volatility patterns rather than simple price direction.Volatility as Opportunity
A well-managed options program can capitalize on volatility rather than being derailed by it.
4. Flexible Liquidity
Frequent Subscription Intervals
Unlike many locked-up alternative investments, this strategy can use exchange-traded instruments—enabling more frequent entry and exit points.Quick Position Management
The underlying positions in futures, ETFs, or index options are typically liquid, allowing managers to pivot rapidly if market conditions change.
5. Aligning with Accredited Investor Goals
High Target Returns
This approach is engineered to pursue significant upside, appealing to accredited or high net worth investors seeking more than just market-average growth.Transparency & Data-Driven Process
Decisions are grounded in macroeconomic research, quantitative models, and real-time volatility tracking—offering a clear rationale for portfolio moves.
6. Professional Oversight & Execution
Specialized Team
Executing a multi-layered strategy calls for macro economists, options traders, and risk managers, all collaborating to navigate shifting markets.Real-Time Monitoring
Advanced tools and around-the-clock oversight help the team react swiftly to sudden changes in market conditions or volatility spikes.
