Source

  • Singularly focused - ZD looks for proven but often undiscovered derivative managers with repeatable strategies.

  • ZD leverages their experience and network of traders, technologists, and service providers, not databases, to find these exclusive under-the-radar break-away managers.

  • Zero Delta doesn’t chase returns - we pick strategies with persistent opportunities and repeatable performance.
