Over the past three years, Omphalos Fund has delivered a total net return of 39.82%, with an annualized return of 11.82%. Notably, the fund achieved these results while maintaining exceptionally low volatility, with an annual standard deviation of 3.96% and a maximum drawdown of just -3.00%. The fund delivered a positive monthly performance in 34 out of 36 months. These metrics far outperformed traditional benchmarks such as the S&P 500 and leading hedge fund indices.
Omphalos Fund is a 100% AI-driven multi-strategy, multi-asset hedge fund optimized to deliver uncorrelated positive returns in any market situation. This strategy has been proven in bear markets, while still delivering positive performance in strong equity years.
Key highlights from Omphalos Fund’s three-year performance include:
- Total Net Return: 39.82%, significantly outpacing the S&P 500 (23.31%) and industry benchmarks like the AI Hedge Fund Index (2.91%).
- Risk-Adjusted Returns: With a Sharpe Ratio of 1.74 and a volatility of 3,96%, Omphalos Fund leads the field in delivering superior returns with controlled risk.
- Uncorrelated Performance: The fund’s negligible correlation with major market indices (S&P 500: -0,03, S&P US Aggr. Bond: 0,08) underscores its role as an effective portfolio diversifier.
Based on these strong KPIs, Omphalos Fund achieved by the end of 2024 a major commercial milestone by onboarding its first institutional client.
