MQT Asset Management, a next-generation macro investment manager, is gearing up to launch both funds and segregated managed accounts in early November backed with initial investment from the firm’s partners and a seed capital provider.
Seed capital is provided by a previous investor in the Maniyar Macro Funds.
MQT combines quantitative research and advanced technology within a disciplined investment process designed to capture opportunities across a rapidly evolving global macro landscape.
Led by founder and CIO Dharmesh Maniyar (formerly Tudor and Brevan Howard), MQT brings together a ten-person team whose senior members have worked together for more than five years across trading, research, data, and risk. The firm will manage both fund and managed-account capital from inception.
MQT runs two independent strategies – Discretionary Thematic Macro, and Systematic Model-Driven Macro. The former employs AI-assisted research to identify probabilistic, scenario-weighted themes trading liquid instruments across G8 and major liquid EM markets, while the later is a a diversified, rules-based approach balancing price dynamics, carry, and cross-sectional macro effects to deliver orthogonal return streams and portfolio diversification.
The firm expects to benefit from policy divergence, geopolitical trade realignment, and AI-driven capital-flow shifts, which together are creating fertile conditions for macro investing.
The senior investment team also includes Alex Nixon, Head of Systematic Trading (formerly Tudor and Man AHL), and Vilas Gadkari, Head of Macro Research (formerly Lombard Odier, Brevan Howard, and co-founder of Rubicon).
