San Francisco · Founded March 2026
Geopolitical instability and the global energy transition are the dominant structural forces reshaping macro markets over the coming decade.
Monolith Systematic seeks to capture durable edges generated by the trends, dislocations, and regime shifts these forces produce. The opportunity set is expansive, encompassing foreign exchange, rates, energy commodities, and broader macro markets.
We combine a macro view of global market dynamics, deep quantitative understanding of cross-asset relationships, and rules-based execution to express our views. We are long-term oriented, seek durable edges across market regimes, and are cognizant of tail risk and drawdown management at all times.
