From Nasdaq Orpheus calculation in 2004 to nine live mandates across four continents in 2026 — validated live, never back-tested.
BT Energy: BT Asset Management Romania, Aug 2019–Mar 2021 · IR 1.98, highest across all validations. E&R Romania VG and E&R XLE VCG both launched Jan 2025 into adverse sector conditions; negative alpha reflects sector-level headwinds during this period, not a structural failure — 10 of 12 strategies continue to beat benchmark.
All figures annualised. Periods vary by mandate. Sources: live client data, SEBI-regulated TWRR, Nasdaq exchange records.
Why weighted: the outperformers have compounded alpha for 3–10 years, while both negative-alpha mandates are under 18 months old. Every mandate with 3+ years of history is alpha-positive.
All returns annualised. Periods vary by mandate. Sources: live client data, SEBI-regulated TWRR, Nasdaq exchange records. Time-weighted average alpha = Σ(annualised alpha × years of track) ÷ Σ(years of track) ≈ +8.2% across ≈35 mandate-years; simple average +6.6%. Past performance does not guarantee future results. BT Energy and the Nasdaq Orpheus RMIVG 20 mandates are historical proofs and are not counted among the 30 E&R Ready-to-Deploy strategies.
Hedge funds are how the world has paid for alpha — 2-and-20 on assets. The industry's own benchmark, the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite — 2,000+ single-manager funds, net of all fees — compounded roughly 5% a year over the last decade, against ~13% for the S&P 500. The most expensive fee structure in finance didn't just miss alpha; on average it missed beta.
HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (HFR, Inc.): global, equal-weighted, 2,000+ single-manager funds, net of all fees; +10.0% in 2024; 2024 top-decile +37.3% vs bottom-decile −11.7% (HFR, Jan 2025). Decade pace ≈5.2% p.a. compounded from published calendar-year index returns 2015–2024; S&P 500 total return ≈13.1% p.a. over the same window. Mandate returns are from the validation table above — periods vary by mandate, model portfolios gross of fees. Long-only, benchmark-relative mandates are not risk-equivalent to hedged absolute-return funds; this comparison is about what investors paid for alpha, not volatility.
