Philosophy

At Patton Investments our goal is to produce solid returns in all market environments for our private clients. We believe that we can take advantage of profitable opportunities around the world due to our niche trading framework.

We strongly adhere to the old market adage: take care of the downside and the upside will take care of itself. One of the ways we protect the downside is by looking at markets in non-traditional ways. We utilize recent findings from Behavioral Economics which show how markets and participants may rationally act irrationally. Our proprietary research shows how some markets trend up, but gap down. Also, our models take into account how markets tend to be regime specific, i.e., in the rudimentary case of risk-on vs. risk-off. At Patton Investments we adapt our models as market conditions evolve. We have a small team of quantitative researchers that diligently searches for creative ways of modeling markets and identifying profitable arbitrage situation.

We are selective when putting on trades and try to deliver investment results that outperform the market benchmarks without taking extra risk. We are not afraid to miss trades if it allows us to avoid big downdrafts in returns.
