Why Rossum?
“In 1920, Prague gave the world the word 'robot'. A century later, we build on the same idea.”
Karel Čapek's play R.U.R. gave the world the word 'robot'. Machines that work more efficiently than humans. No emotions, no errors. Rossum's idea was simple: let machines do what they do better.
Rossum Capital builds on the same idea. Our 'robots' are algorithms. Rules and systems that we follow and don't deviate from. A systematic approach beats intuition most of the time.
From R.U.R. to Rossum Capital
Markets are efficient enough that most active traders without an edge lose money. Without an edge, fees and spreads slowly eat into returns. For most people, it makes sense to passively hold a diversified portfolio and harvest the market's risk premium. But holding only equity indices means one dominant risk factor. True diversification means exposure to assets that respond to different economic conditions. Yet traditional diversification comes at the cost of absolute returns, because you're still only allocating 100% of capital.
That's where return stacking comes in. On the traditional side of the portfolio, we use futures to layer uncorrelated strategies on top of a buy-and-hold base. The result: higher returns relative to risk than the index alone. On top of that, we add another independent return source. Cryptocurrency markets are young and less efficient. Recurring price patterns, lower competition. Our systematic strategies exploit these inefficiencies and generate alpha.
