Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Dunamis Asset Management?
Dr. David Semmens serves as Chief Investment Officer and holds central responsibility for portfolio construction and risk allocation. He is supported by COO Philip Hull on operational and non-investment governance matters. The firm's structure keeps investment authority concentrated rather than distributed across multiple PM pods.
What markets does Dunamis Asset Management trade?
The firm focuses on foreign exchange, interest rates, and sovereign fixed income across G10 and select emerging market economies. It does not trade equities, corporate credit, or private assets. The mandate is deliberately narrow — liquid macro instruments with daily pricing and settlement.
Does Dunamis offer separately managed accounts?
Yes. In addition to a flagship commingled fund, the firm provides bespoke managed accounts that give allocators direct custody of assets and daily liquidity. This structure is central to its appeal for institutional investors who require transparency and control over their capital.
How does Dunamis Asset Management source investment ideas?
Idea generation combines fundamental macroeconomic analysis with systematic signals. The team assesses monetary policy trajectories, relative value across rate curves, and FX regime shifts, then uses quantitative models to size positions and manage drawdown risk. The process is hybrid — discretionary themes, disciplined execution.
Is Dunamis Asset Management a family office?
No. Dunamis Asset Management is a regulated asset manager operating in London. It manages third-party institutional capital through pooled funds and managed accounts, not the wealth of a single family or individual.
