Frequently asked questions
What investment strategy does Caxton pursue?
Caxton is a discretionary global macro manager, taking concentrated positions in liquid instruments across currencies, sovereign debt, interest rates, commodities, and equity indices. The firm seeks asymmetric payoff profiles through rigorous risk management. A well-documented example was its 2023 short position on the Japanese yen, which contributed to a roughly 40% annual return (per Bloomberg, 2023).
Why did Caxton establish an office in the DIFC?
The DIFC offers an independent common-law legal framework, tax neutrality, and regulatory clarity under the Dubai Financial Services Authority, making it a preferred jurisdiction for global hedge funds targeting Middle Eastern institutional capital. The office gives Caxton proximity to major regional sovereign wealth funds and family offices, while also providing a time-zone bridge between London and Asian markets.
