Our proprietary strategies lost ground in line with the Global Beta 16 (G.B16) benchmark last week. Year to date, the benchmark is still in the lead, but by a narrowing margin — a mere 20 basis points over this year’s top-performing prop strategy — Global Managed Volatility, which is up 9.2% in 2021 vs. 9.4% for G.B16 through Friday’s close (Sep. 10).
