Altamira Capital Management LLC

Altamira Capital Management LLC provides investment management exclusively to pooled investment vehicles, typically serving institutional investors, qualified eligible persons, and family offices. The firm is registered as a commodity pool operator with the CFTC and NFA and conducts active trading in equity markets through instruments such as equity index options and options on equity index futures rather than offering traditional individual advisory accounts.

Altamira combines fundamental and technical analysis with a proprietary probabilistic statistical model (using data back to 1975) to select option strikes dynamically and set position sizes, employing strategies that include long and short options, spreads, and combinations. Compensation arrangements described in the brochure are typical for managers of pooled vehicles (percentage-of-AUM management fees and performance allocations), and its trading approach emphasizes risk metrics designed to control moneyness and sizing while targeting absolute, low-correlation returns.

Noteworthy for a firm in this category, Altamira’s CPO registration and explicit focus on commodity-derivative trading (options on futures, margin-driven leverage, and short positions) distinguish it from many investment managers that primarily manage cash equities or traditional institutional mandates. The brochure also discloses that the firm is small (two principals), invested alongside fund investors, and reported $0 in assets under management as of December 31, 2025 after closing the Altamira Prima Fund, LP.
