Little Harbor Advisors

Little Harbor launched actively managed exchange-traded funds structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The flagship vehicle traded on NYSE Arca and provided daily liquidity while executing a managed-futures and tactical macro strategy. The firm wound down its registered fund complex between 2021 and 2023.

The strategy had mandate flexibility to allocate across equities, fixed-income, commodity-linked instruments, and currencies. Public record shows the firm held positions in corporate credit ETF shares during the 2020 dislocation period. The quantitative models used volatility and trend signals to rotate among asset classes.

Jeffrey Landes served as president and portfolio manager throughout the firm's active period. He established the systematic rules that governed asset-class rotation and position sizing. David Sloane handled compliance and operational oversight.

The firm wound down its ETF lineup between 2021 and 2023 and deregistered with the SEC in 2023. Little Harbor Advisors LLC remains a legal entity in Massachusetts, but it no longer appears to manage publicly offered pooled vehicles.

Most commodity trading advisors operate in private fund structures with quarterly liquidity and lower regulatory disclosure. Little Harbor packaged trend-following inside an ETF wrapper, offering daily transparency and intraday tradability. That structure imposed 1940 Act leverage and diversification constraints not faced by typical CTA pools.
