"I have been an investor in Anacapa Alpha and Anacapa Quantum from inception and am thrilled with the returns and the risk management of the team.  

The risk adjusted returns are amazing and I especially appreciate the protection provided by the strategy in down markets.  I also think that the unique fee structure really aligns my interest with the team’s. I have had excellent communications from the team and when I have had to make small withdrawals, the process has been seamless."
