In this episode, CARL’s Jamie Uppenberg speaks with George Egan and Masao Matsuda, investment managers for the Fuji strategy now available on the CARL app.
Fuji is an outcome-oriented investment fund. Copernicus Investment and Risk Advisors uses the proprietary Dynamic Factor Portfolio (DFP) strategy developed by Masao Matsuda, PhD and FRM as a result of his decades of research as a Financial Risk Manager (FRM) at Nikko Securities and beyond. The strategy is predictive of equity market volatility, which is used as a basis to build a portfolio of quant index strategies used by institutional investors that meet a targeted risk (loss of money) levels and achieve the highest risk adjusted returns under certain equity volatility conditions. Importantly, the strategy uses only a fraction of the Fund assets to effect the proper exposure, allowing us to allocate the majority of cash to other assets. For Fuji we have identified two yield bearing, negatively correlated to DFP REITS to substantially increase returns while providing current income and further reducing risk to the portfolio.

In this episode, CARL’s Jamie Uppenberg speaks with Stephen Wu, investment manager for Carthage Fund II now available on the CARL app.
Carthage's primary objective is to achieve a weekly profit margin of +0.5-1% through the sale of options, collecting premiums, which is expected to compound to an annualized return in the range of +30-60%. Notably, our strategy yielded impressive returns of +194% in 2020, +149% in 2021, +30% in 2022, and +41% in 2023. At Carthage, our approach diverges from attempting to predict market direction or whether a stock will go up or down. Instead, we focus on evaluating the likelihood of specific stock price movements within defined timeframes. Leveraging this analysis, we strategically engage in the sale of both weekly and monthly option premiums to secure profitable outcomes.

About the Guest
Stephen Wu, portfolio manager, was an AI Software Engineer at Amazon and Microsoft for 6+ years, where he used statistical modeling to build the Amazon Alexa music recommendation system. Over the past 4+ years, he used statistical modeling and analysis to trade options, which eventually became the basis of this trading strategy. He partnered with several of his closest friends at Citadel, Point 72, Millennium, Neuberger Berman, Balyasny, etc to combine statistical modeling with financial analysis to create this trading strategy. After running it for 4 years and returning +31% in 2022, one of the worst years for tech with the Nasdaq -33%, he decided it was time to launch the fund. Stephen now runs it full-time with 100% of his liquid net worth invested and aims to grow it to the best hedge fund in the world. He named it “Carthage” after one of the greatest cities in history, known as a center for trade. Stephen double majored in Computer Science and Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University with honors.

CARL’s Fuji Strategy is the first cryptocurrency offered on the CARL platform. Our investors have been asking for a different type of alternative investment that aligns with CARL’s standards of quality and delivers stable consistent returns with low risk.
Fuji stakes stablecoins into single-sided and multi-asset liquidity pools. The objective of the strategy is to achieve a low risk yield opportunity. Fuji targets an annualized return of 5-7% and makes use of smart contracts and fiat-pegged stablecoins to execute the strategy and reduce volatility.
