Alta Cura AIF
AIFIME's View on Alta Cura AIF
AMC View
Alta Cura offers a highly differentiated absolute return focussed quant strategy. The strong pedigree of the investment team and the demonstrated performance using quant algorithms at Accuracap gives the AMC credibility despite being a relatively young AMC.
AMC Pedigree
Alta Cura is a very young AMC, however, the fact that Raman Nagpal has co-built Accuracap has demonstrated the value of Raman's algorithms and provides a level of comfort and credibility to the AMC.
Team Pedigree
Raman Nagpal has a Masters in Computer Science and has worked in data science at Adobe, prior to setting up Accuracap along with Naresh Gupta. At AccuraCap Raman has developed strong investment credential over the past decade.
Investment Philosophy
While the foundation of Alta Cura's algorithms comes from proven AI algorithms at Accuracap, the adaption of these algos to a more trading-heavy absolute return strategy is still in the early days. The longer-term track record of these algorithms across different market conditions is still to be established.
Investment Philosophy
The strategy is driven by Artificial Intelligence and machine learning–based algorithms designed to identify profitable absolute return opportunities. These algorithms are built using a large number of indicators and advanced data science techniques, with continuous learning embedded to improve predictive accuracy over time. The models are developed by a credible and technically strong team led by Raman Nagpal, who holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science and previously worked in data science roles at Adobe, alongside co-founder Naresh Gupta. The underlying AI framework has demonstrated consistent outperformance in Accuracap’s long-only strategies over more than a decade and has been adapted for absolute return objectives.
While the algorithmic foundation is derived from proven systems, the application of these models to a more trading-intensive absolute return strategy is still in the early stages. As a result, the longer-term performance of the strategy across multiple market cycles remains to be fully established.
