Rotella Capital Management

Founded in 1995, Rotella Capital Management (RCM) is a Washington-based hedge fund management firm. RCM is built on the vision of Robert Rotella, one of the early pioneers in bringing a purely systematic approach to investing in the futures space. The firm has built on that experience to create multiple futures and securities strategies. Today, Jagdeesh Prakasam is CEO, and RCM’s programs are overseen by Rotella’s research team. They are supported by a dedicated team of skilled researchers, comprised of members with diverse educational backgrounds who have advanced degrees in physics, engineering, mathematics and financial engineering. The research team has extensive experience building sophisticated investment products in both the futures and securities spaces. The ideas used in these programs are an eclectic combination of ideas from across the scientific spectrum which includes machine learning-based ideas. The diversity of backgrounds on RCM’s team creates a catalyst for new idea generation and supports the firm’s goal of providing superior, risk-adjusted returns.
