Taula Capital Management (Jersey)

Diego Megia's Jersey-based macro hedge fund applies a G10 rates and FX framework refined over 23 years at Moore Capital.

Taula Capital Management (Jersey)

Taula Capital Management launched in 2011 when Diego Megia departed Moore Capital after more than two decades, including a long run as co-head of macro trading. He had been one of Louis Bacon's most trusted capital allocators, regularly managing a multi-billion-dollar book within Moore's flagship funds. The firm set up in Jersey, a jurisdiction that houses a cluster of macro talent drawn to its regulatory framework and proximity to London. Megia runs the fund alongside a tight group of former Moore colleagues, keeping the investment team deliberately small and the capital base disciplined. The strategy is pure discretionary global macro focused predominantly on G10 rates and foreign exchange. Megia builds high-conviction views around central bank policy, inflation dynamics, and relative-value trades across the US Treasury, Bund, Gilt, and JGB curves. The fund does not wander into illiquid private markets or equity long/short—its edge lives entirely in the observable data and policy signals of developed-world sovereign markets. The portfolio will hold both directional and relative-value positions, using options and futures to structure asymmetric payoff profiles. Confirmed positions are rarely disclosed given the macro mandate, but the fund has been publicly referenced as an active participant in European government bond markets and G7 currency crosses. Taula keeps institutional leverage and risk management discipline that reflects Megia's Moore Capital lineage. The firm employs a moderate, carefully scaled risk budget rather than maxing out VaR limits on carry trades. The operations sit on a Jersey platform that serves global institutional allocators, with fund vehicles typically structured for US taxable and offshore investors. Megia has not publicly disclosed total firm AUM or headcount figures. The fund is understood to have maintained a relatively tight capacity, consistent with a macro manager who wants agility in G10 markets without the slippage that large asset bases impose on shorter-duration macro trades. No philanthropic foundation or adjacent operating business is publicly tied to the firm. The structural differentiator is Megia's extraction of a concentrated G10 rates and FX mandate from within a multi-strategy macro giant. Most macro spinouts diversify across asset classes or regions to attract assets. Taula did the opposite: it narrowed its aperture to the markets Megia had proven his edge in while at Moore, implicitly arguing to allocators that the tight focus would produce less correlation dilution and better crisis-alpha characteristics than a broader mandate. The succession story is tied to this purity—the firm has not signaled any shift toward a multi-manager model or asset-gathering push, making it one of the last dedicated G10 rates boutiques still operating as founder-locked capital.

Frequently asked questions

What is Diego Megia's investment background?

Megia spent 23 years at Moore Capital Management, Louis Bacon's macro hedge fund. He rose to co-head of macro trading and was consistently allocated the single-largest portion of the firm's risk budget. He departed in 2011 to found Taula Capital in Jersey, bringing several Moore colleagues with him. Prior to Moore, he traded at several European institutions.

What markets does Taula Capital focus on?

Taula trades predominantly G10 rates, foreign exchange, and sovereign credit markets. The firm builds positions around central bank policy divergence, inflation dynamics, and relative value across the US Treasury, European government bond, and JGB curves. It does not operate in equities, private credit, or emerging markets as a core allocation. The mandate is designed to stay within the deepest, most liquid sovereign markets.

How is Taula Capital structured for investors?

Taula operates as a Jersey-domiciled asset manager, offering commingled hedge fund vehicles to institutional allocators. The funds typically provide US taxable and offshore feeder structures. The firm has kept capacity deliberately limited to preserve the agility of its G10 rates strategy. Taula has not launched UCITS, '40 Act funds, or long-only vehicles, and does not publicly disclose its AUM.

How does Taula Capital's strategy differ from a large multi-strategy macro fund?

Unlike multi-strategy platforms that allocate risk across dozens of uncorrelated trading teams, Taula runs a single concentrated book of G10 rates and FX positions under Megia's direct oversight. The firm does not employ a pod structure or external portfolio managers. This gives it a cleaner crisis-alpha profile—when G10 markets dislocate, the fund's returns are driven by one team's conviction rather than being netted down by unrelated strategies.

What is Taula's approach to risk management?

Taula applies the institutional risk discipline Megia absorbed during two decades at Moore Capital. The firm structures positions with defined downside using options and futures, maintaining a moderate risk budget relative to the macro peer set. It emphasizes liquidity and position-sizing discipline over maximum leverage. The Jersey regulatory framework provides additional operational oversight.

Has Taula Capital expanded beyond its original macro mandate?

Publicly, no. Taula has not diversified into equities, private markets, or quantitative strategies. The firm has remained a pure G10 rates and FX macro manager since its 2011 launch. This stands in contrast to many macro spinouts that broaden their mandate to attract assets, and is a core part of the firm's pitch to allocators seeking uncorrelated, liquid macro returns without drift.

Why is Taula Capital based in Jersey?

Jersey offers a regulatory environment with well-tested fund structures for global institutional investors, alongside proximity to the London macro talent pool. Several macro hedge funds with concentrated G10 mandates have chosen the Channel Islands for similar reasons—combining EU-adjacent time zones with a credible, cooperative regulatory framework. Megia's move to Jersey was part of the post-Moore independence structure.
