Investment Overview
Strategy Description
The Leonidas Energy Strategy is a model-based, discretionary energy trading strategy managed by George Michalopoulos, who was an energy portfolio manager for Citadel Investment Group for six years. Mr. Michalopoulos has a unique understanding of global supply and demand dynamics as they relate to WTI, Brent, and Henry Hub natural gas. Because these are physically delivered contracts, there arises a unique trading advantage for those understanding the fundamental dynamics. Often without taking the risk profile of outright positioning (long/short) in the underlying commodity. This can be expressed in grade differentials, like WTI-BRT, WTI spreads, BRT spreads, and even WTI vs BRT spreads.
