About Cutler Investment CorporationCutler Investment Corporation was founded in 1997 by Thomas Doe and Timothy Holler. The two, who had already been collaborating on another joint venture (Municipal Market Advisors), saw unique opportunities arising in the rapidly-growing field of alternative investments and believed their joint analytical strengths and financial expertise would provide them with solid footing to launch a company specializing in managed futures. Mr. Doe's interest rate expertise was formed as an analyst in the U.S. municipal bond industry, a sector in which he is recognized as one of the top strategists. In addition, Mr. Doe was appointed by the industry to its regulatory board on which he served a full term from 2002-2005. Mr. Holler has devoted his career to risk management and trading strategies in the interest rate markets, a pursuit that has included the development of interest rate management programs for security dealers and portfolio managers. Such efforts served as the genesis of Cutler's Trading Program. Cutler made the distinct choice to pursue its investment program in the futures markets because of the efficiency of execution, transparency of regulated products, and effectiveness of leverage. Mr. Doe's past role as a regulator in the municipal bond industry has resulted in the firm's emphasis on transparency and disclosure for its clients while at the same time executing an aggressive strategy with strict risk management controls and prudent use of leverage. In 1999, the team implemented their current trading program, Cutler Trading Program, which has produced attractive annualized returns to investors. In addition, the Cutler Trading Program has a low correlation with other investment sectors as well as other CTAs. The growth of alternative investments has been predicated on the ability of managers to create flexible strategies that take advantage of the markets by holding both "long" and "short" positions (hedging). Such strategies provide opportunities to achieve above-average returns. Cutler has pursued an independent proprietary approach that capitalizes on its principals' creativity and discipline. In addition, Cutler's commitment to new research and development, which involves the perpetual evaluation of new and enhanced trading strategies, ensures that Cutler will continue to lead the pack among alternative investments. Through a honed attention to detail, steadfast determination, a ten year track record, and the superior trading methodology of a uniquely-designed proprietary investment platform, Cutler stands as a premier CTA with superior management and steadfast returns. |
