About KRAT
KRAT was established to deliver disciplined short-term investment strategies for institutions and experienced private investors who require reliable liquidity and defined risk controls. We combine quantitative signals, event-aware research, and hands-on execution to build time-limited exposures across cash alternatives, tactical credit, and event-driven opportunities. Our approach emphasizes transparency: clients receive clear position-level reporting, stress-test outcomes, and an explanation of liquidity profiles so allocation decisions are informed. Investment committees meet regularly to review guardrails and to ensure that short-duration objectives remain consistent with market conditions. Our research process integrates macro overlays with microstructure metrics to identify attractive short-duration opportunities while preserving quick access to capital. We focus on execution quality, counterparty selection, and operational resilience, because short-term strategies are sensitive to settlement friction and intraday liquidity dynamics.
Our focus
Execution, liquidity management, and transparent risk metrics underpin every mandate we run. We prioritize clarity for clients and measurable outcomes for stakeholders.
Governance & Compliance
Strong governance and careful compliance are central to KRAT’s operational model. We maintain formal risk limits, escalation protocols, and documented decision logs for portfolio actions. Independent compliance and operations teams review counterparties, settlement procedures, and regulatory reporting to reduce operational risk. Scenario analysis and reverse-stress testing are performed regularly to assess how strategies respond under market stress. KRAT's liquidity playbooks specify thresholds for rebalancing, partial exits, and communication with clients in the event of accelerated market moves. Our policies are updated in response to regulatory guidance and industry best practices, and we provide clients with periodic attestations and transparent fee reporting. The combination of proactive governance and continuous monitoring helps keep short-term strategies aligned with stated investment objectives while protecting principal where possible.
