DIFFERENTIAL CAPITAL

Differential Gradient Prescient QI Hedge Fund
The Differential Gradient Prescient QI Hedge Fund is a concentrated, multi-strategy hedge fund with a strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) focus. As a medium-risk product, the fund aims to contain volatility and to limit exposure when markets are tough, while giving investors as much exposure to the upside as possible. It does this by using a
range of instruments, including equities, options, preference shares and listed and unlisted financial instruments. It uses derivatives to contain risk, and not for speculative purposes, with the investment process driven by a combination of artificial intelligence idea generation, traditional fundamentals and human sense checks.

Investment strategy
The fund aims to generate superior risk-adjusted returns of 3-6% (after fees) above cash. It is a concentrated, multi-strategy hedge fund with a strong ESG focus, and is suitable for medium-term investors.
