Overview

Cinctive Capital Management is a New York multi-strategy alternative asset manager built around a multi-manager model. Its current platform spans long/short equity, macro and quantitative strategies, supported by proprietary quantitative and risk-management tools.

May fit better for

  • qualified investors seeking a multi-manager hedge-fund platform;
  • allocators interested in specialist long/short equity teams;
  • investors seeking macro and quantitative sleeves alongside equities;
  • institutions comfortable with centralized risk and portfolio construction.

May fit less well for

  • retail users seeking direct public signup;
  • investors wanting one concentrated discretionary portfolio;
  • users who treat a 13F as the complete multi-manager book;
  • investors who interpret “alpha generation” objectives as guaranteed alpha.

Assessment

Cinctive's current numbers are relatively close—$3.069B RAUM and $2.717B of Q2 13F securities—but the strategy includes macro, short and derivative exposures that cannot be reconstructed from the 13F.
