About
NovoDyn Advisors is a dual-registered investment adviser and Commodity Trading Advisor that offers separately managed accounts through a Structural Alpha Trading Program and a standalone Relative Values Program. The firm accepts individual investors and accounts referred and represented by registered investment advisers, and it does not operate pooled investment vehicles or wrap programs.
NovoDyn’s approach combines futures-based market replication with a non-directional, rules-based systematic overlay composed of multiple independent strategy engines; a proprietary capital-allocation system determines which engines are active and how overlay capital is deployed. The overlay integrates machine-learning models developed by an affiliated firm in which a senior employee holds a majority interest, and trading is executed through automated block orders and algorithmic allocation processes.
What distinguishes NovoDyn from many peers is the combination of RIA and CTA registrations to synthetically replicate market exposure while running an independent systematic overlay, along with the use of affiliate-developed machine learning and the availability of performance-based compensation to qualified clients. The firm is newly activating its investment adviser registration and reports no regulatory assets under management at this time, reflecting an operational profile more characteristic of a launch-stage specialty manager than an established multi-client RIA.
