A. S. Peskin and Company, Limited (ASPCO), headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is a boutique investment management firm, registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) and Commodity Pool Operator (CPO). We offer an alternative investment Absolute Return strategy for wealthy individuals and institutional investors. Client-centric in nature, ASPCO continually strives to provide tangible value to our clients - in terms of asset appreciation, risk mitigation, and comprehensive client service. Absolute Return strategies add value to a diversified portfolio because they are non-correlated with traditional asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. By allocating a portion of total investment holdings to an Absolute Return strategy, the entire portfolio gains the potential to experience reduced volatility and risk, while earning greater rates of return. The ASPCO trading model employs a methodology which is driven by technical and quantitative analysis and executed systematically across a diversified portfolio. The model seeks to identify non-random, statistically significant, persistent patterns found within market price behavior. With the development of the proprietary Spectral Statistical Analysis Model, ASPCO has engineered, what it believes to be, a successful solution to the primary pitfall facing all systematic trading strategies - the non-stationary nature of the financial markets. The ability for the model to continually readjust based on changes in market structure as they occur in real-time, enable it to robustly navigate the many different types of trading environments market participants face. The return stream ASPCO offers is highly unique and exhibits an extremely low correlation to both traditional investment vehicles and to other alternative investment managers. ASPCO's seeks to achieve alpha with absolute returns coupled with managed risk.
