Libra

Investment engineering for complex markets.

Libra manages portfolios through two complementary investment engines. The first is a strategic public‑market portfolio built with ETFs and selected equities. The second applies rules‑based futures strategies across selected liquid markets.

Clients may access these Libra‑managed strategies through a segregated managed account or, where eligible, a third‑party‑issued investment note.

SOLUTIONS

Solutions

Two implementation formats. Two complementary investment engines. Clients access Libra-managed strategies through one of two legal structures. Within those structures, portfolios may combine strategic public-market exposures with systematic futures strategies.

EXPLORE SOLUTIONS

Segregated managed accounts

An account opened in the client’s name at an approved third-party custodian. Under a written advisory agreement and limited trading authority, Libra manages the portfolio while the client retains ownership of the account assets.

Third-party-issued investment notes

A security issued by an independent third party that provides exposure to a Libra-managed strategy. Where supported, the note may be held through the investor’s existing bank or investment account. The investor owns the note, not a segregated underlying account, and Libra is not the issuer, custodian or guarantor.

Strategic public markets

ETFs, selected equities, fixed-income instruments and cash may be used to build the portfolio’s liquid strategic core. Each position is evaluated for its expected role, liquidity, cost and contribution to aggregate risk.

Systematic futures

Rules-based models may establish long or short positions in selected liquid, exchange-traded futures across equity indices, currencies and government bond or interest-rate markets. Signals, position sizing, exposure limits and exits follow predefined controls.

An investment platform with institutional governance

Dual regulatory framework

Libra is registered as a Florida investment adviser and as a commodity trading advisor with the CFTC, and is an NFA Member.

Mandate-driven design

Objectives, risk budgets, eligible instruments, liquidity and implementation constraints are defined before a portfolio is built.

Independent custody

In segregated accounts, assets are held in the client's name at a qualified third-party custodian.

Systematic infrastructure

Research, validation, portfolio construction, execution and monitoring operate as a documented, repeatable process.
