Tianhu Investments

Tianhu Investments provides investment supervisory services and discretionary separately managed account management primarily for individual and high‑net‑worth clients, managing about $21 million for a small number of accounts and generally requiring a $100,000 minimum that may be waived. Fees are charged as a percentage of assets under management and, for qualified clients, may include performance‑based compensation.

The firm’s investment approach is process‑driven and systematic, relying on quantitative analysis and proprietary computer models built from publicly available financial data to implement strategies across U.S. and non‑U.S. equities, debt, futures, foreign exchange and other derivatives. Portfolios are actively traded, diversified, and may be run market‑neutral with both systematic techniques and discretionary, opportunistic trades, while risk is managed using proprietary models, hedging and leverage where appropriate.

Several features distinguish Tianhu from many solo independent advisers: it discloses the use of derivatives and futures in managed accounts and explicitly contemplates performance‑based fees with a high‑water mark and measurement of net capital appreciation (realized and unrealized) for fee calculation — arrangements that are less common among similarly sized firms. The firm’s principal brings an engineering and computer‑science background and ongoing software industry experience, which underpins the firm’s emphasis on computational trading models and quantitative techniques.
