Recent Program PerformanceOur intraday trading component has continued to weigh on overall performance, primarily due to a sharp decline in volatility as markets trend higher. In contrast, the multi-day portion of our portfolio remains a strong performer and is positive for the year, though its gains have largely served to offset losses within the Blended program.Historically, upward-trending markets have produced intermittent bursts of volatility—an essential driver of intraday performance. This behavior is expected, and during such periods we strategically scale back intraday activity and allow multi-day trades to lead. The greater challenge arises when volatility fades abruptly, limiting the systems' ability to recalibrate in real time.While the SG CTA Index is down 6.79% year-to-date, Soaring Pelican is currently outperforming its peers. Nonetheless, we remain focused on recouping recent losses, having already recovered nearly 1.5% since the end of July.https://wholesale.banking.societegenerale.com/en/prime-servi...

The Big PictureMarkets remain in a bullish phase, with notable momentum in the Russell 2000—reflecting growing investor confidence in small-cap stocks, which are typically more speculative in nature.Additionally, a relatively weaker U.S. dollar may be contributing to the strength in equity indices. However, market valuations compared to GDP are currently at elevated, even bubble-like, levels—highlighting stretched conditions, though further upside remains possible.

Our OutlookFrom a performance standpoint, our systems have adjusted to accommodate a trending, low-volatility environment. As long as these conditions persist, we anticipate that the majority of returns will be driven by multi-day trades. While stricter criteria for intraday setups have reduced overall trading activity, they do not eliminate the potential for capturing outsized gains.
