About
Volsurface Capital Management provides separately managed account (SMA) services that implement market‑neutral, relative‑value volatility strategies using listed index derivatives. The firm’s stated clientele includes high‑net‑worth individuals and institutional accounts, and its brochure discloses minimums for its SMA and selection services ($2,000,000 and $5,000,000, respectively).
The investment approach centers on proprietary models that seek pricing dislocations across the volatility surface of S&P 500 and U.S. 10‑year Treasury index options and related futures, with positions hedged to maintain a market‑neutral bias and embedded tail‑risk protection. The firm describes real‑time risk monitoring, pre‑trade analysis, and ongoing portfolio management, and it is also registered as a commodity trading advisor (CTA) and a member of the National Futures Association.
Distinctive features highlighted in the brochure include a sole managing member structure and the disclosure that, as of the brochure date, the adviser reported no assets under management in its registered investment adviser capacity while operating derivatives strategies under CFTC/NFA registration. The brochure also documents non‑investment business ties that are uncommon among peers: the manager holds a realtor license with Berkshire Hathaway Home Service (reported as a limited, ~2‑hour/week activity) and operates a separate consulting practice.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
