Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Rokos Capital Management?
Chris Rokos, founder and Chief Investment Officer, is the principal decision-maker. He previously co-founded Brevan Howard in 2002 and left in 2015 to establish Rokos Capital Management. The firm's investment process is centralized around his macro views and risk framework.
How does Rokos Capital Management source proprietary deal flow?
As a macro hedge fund, Rokos does not rely on primary deal flow. It executes trades in liquid public markets — interest rate futures, FX forwards, sovereign bonds, and commodities — through established prime broker relationships and electronic execution platforms. Proprietary insight derives from the firm's research into macroeconomic trends, central bank policy, and geopolitical developments.
Is Rokos Capital Management structured as a family office or a hedge fund?
It is a registered investment adviser operating a multi-investor hedge fund, not a single-family office. The firm manages capital for institutional allocators, pension funds, endowments, and high-net-worth individuals. While Chris Rokos personally has significant wealth, the firm's AUM is predominantly external.
Does Rokos Capital Management participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Rokos operates a single commingled fund vehicle — the Rokos Global Macro Master Fund — and does not run side-by-side direct co-investment vehicles or separate accounts. All external capital is commingled in that master fund, which trades the same macro strategy across rates, FX, and commodities.
What investment stages does Rokos Capital Management typically target?
Rokos is a macro manager, not a private equity or venture capital firm. It trades liquid, exchange-traded and OTC derivatives across all time horizons — intraday to multi-year — dependent on macroeconomic conviction. There is no stage targeting in the traditional private-markets sense.
Which sectors does Rokos Capital Management explicitly avoid?
Rokos avoids all private-market asset classes: private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and private credit. It also does not trade long-only equity or structured credit. The firm's mandate is strictly global macro with a heavy tilt toward government bonds and currencies.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
Rokos Capital Management's investor base is institutional — pension funds, endowments, foundations, and family offices — not a single family fortune. Chris Rokos has personal wealth from his trading career, but that is not the source of the firm's AUM.
