Wonder what their "adaptive" investment strategy was. Looking at the performance chart of this fund, it seems like whatever they did worked in the 2008/2009 meltdown, so they probably used a long/short strategy. But, it seems like in the middle of 2011, when the market started a correction, they went all in hedged in the opposite direction just when the market took off to the upside and never looked back. Seems like they never recovered from it as if they were too emotionally vested in the strategy to make a correction.
Stretching the neck out too much in an investment thesis and not having a risk management strategy. Dangerous combination.
