We employ a global multi-strategy investment approach, opportunistically engaging in a
broad array of trading and investing strategies across a wide group of diversified managers.
Our specialized divisions have built and continually evolve our core infrastructure platform.
This enables our trading teams to independently pursue unique investment strategies within
one centrally-driven risk and operational framework.
TFL has differentiated itself from other alternative investment management firms
through our consistent ability to generate high quality returns for our investors.
TFL unique framework has created what we believe to be a sustainable and scalable
organization aligned in partnership with clients both insitiutional and private.
Our Managed Account Investment Programs provide investors access to doors that
traditionally have been closed.
INVESTMENT APPROACH
Our mission is to deliver the alternative investment industry’s highest quality returns
to our investors, and to maintain a commitment to our principles of integrity, discipline and excellence.
We empower our trading teams to independently focus on the specific opportunities and strategies in which they specialize, subject to our overall risk management, compliance, operational controls, and hedging of aggregate exposures where appropriate.
Our approach to the selection and oversight of trading teams is grounded in a philosophy of consistently seeking to generate incremental, positive returns against a limited amount of risk exposure (i.e., high Sharpe ratio), rather than outsized, but more volatile absolute returns.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
We follow an investment strategy that is broadly diversified, global in scope and opportunistic with respect to investments. Each trading team pursues specific opportunity sets within a disciplined risk management framework.
At any given time, we expect to have trading teams pursuing most of the following broad strategies:
- Relative Value Fundamental Equity
- Equities
- Commodities
TFL emphasizes diversity in asset classes, industry sectors and geographic boundaries and invests in a variety of international equity securities, currencies, commodities, options and other instruments.
Senior Management determines the concentration in, and allocation to our investment strategies. The Firm is positioned to selectively add to or reduce its allocation to particular investment strategies on short notice given the opportunity set prevailing from time to time.
INSTITUTIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Our core infrastructure personnel operate by the Firms’ core values of integrity, discipline and excellence, and take pride in having developed an industry-leading, institutional platform.
