Polar Securities

Overview

Established in 1991, Polar Securities was an early entrant in the nascent hedge fund industry. With a track record of more than 17 years that evidences consistent success, Polar Securities has well surpassed the average life span of other industry participants, often leading the way with innovative investing strategies. With longevity, a solid infrastructure and exclusive dedication to hedge funds, Polar Securities provides an evolved approach that has attracted a predominantly institutional and global investor base.

The principles of employee ownership and co-investment in the funds ensures that we are motivated by returns and not by asset size, a telling difference that sustains Polar’s innovation.

Our portfolio management teams possess a wide range of investment experience in multiple markets, such as stocks, options, futures, treasuries and corporate bonds, which translates into highly salutary results for our clients.

Polar Securities remains Canada’s most experienced hedge fund advisor. Few, if any such advisors can match our long-term record and deep experience in the hedge fund market.

Polar Funds

Polar Securities offers two funds: North Pole Capital: a North American-focused multi-strategy product; and Altairis: a long/short, North American-focused equity product.

Long Term Results

Polar Funds present attractive long-term investment opportunities with low-volatility and absolute returns regardless of the market cycle. Long-term experience and perspective helps to ensure the funds perform well regardless of the market cycles. Polar’s investors have benefited from the long term track record which shows minimal correlation to peer groups, as well as returns that are not correlated to traditional asset classes.

Our Sights

No investment strategy is functional through a full economic cycle, and vantage equals advantage in successfully exploiting capital market inefficiencies. Our portfolio management team achieves return targets through a disciplined and structured approach to investing. North Pole Capital achieves return targets using a multi-strategy approach that enables opportunity and innovation, while minimizing and managing both the level of risk and the degree of volatility. Altairis achieves return targets from a foundation of "bottom-up" fundamental analysis overlaid with macro-economic inputs.

Growing Forward

For Polar, growth means adding new thinking and strategies to the mix, all the while ensuring that strategies are “right sized” to effectively match returns to objectives. In addition, we ensure that existing strategies adapt to the ever-changing financial environment.
