Using a MAP
What is a MAP ?
A MAP is an infrastructure built to provide investors with a managed account like experience and provide transparency into their investing strategy.
How a MAP works
- Investors have a single, operationally efficient infrastructure that provides them with near real-time data, frequent liquidity, notional funding, and risk management.
- Each fund is structured as a limited liability company.
- Trading managers are engaged as advisors on the MAP.
- Galaxy Plus Managers trade a mixture of exchange traded futures/ options and OTC FX.

Platform Managers
Before being listed on our platform, every manager and fund is thoroughly vetted and reviewed. We analyze, review, and identify manager strategies, abilities, and backgrounds, as well as relevant strengths and weaknesses. We only include managers who meet our high standards for transparency and performance.
Our due diligence doesn’t stop once a manager is on the platform. We continue to monitor all of our managers to ensure that they stay within the established parameters of their investment strategy.
Investment Strategy Options
Trend Following
Trend following is an investment strategy based on the technical analysis of market prices, rather than on the fundamental strengths of the companies. In financial markets, traders and investors using a trend following strategy believe that prices tend to move upwards or downwards over time.
Mean Reversion
Mean Reversion is an investment strategy based on the theory suggesting that prices and returns eventually move back towards the mean or average. This mean or average can be the historical average of the price or return or another relevant average such as the growth in the economy or the average return of an industry.
Discretionary
Discretionary Trading seeks to opportunistically participate in market-driven price actions. The final decision about trading is made at the discretion of the fund manager.
Global Macro
Global Macro Strategy is a hedge fund strategy that bases its holdings – such as long and short positions in various equity, fixed income, currency, and futures markets – primarily on overall economic and political views of various countries (macroeconomic principles).
Multi Strategy
Multi Strategy funds are characterized by their ability to dynamically allocate capital among strategies falling within several traditional hedge fund disciplines.
Options
Option Strategies are the simultaneous, and often mixed, buying or selling of one or more options that differ in one or more of the options’ variables. This is often done to gain exposure to a specific type of opportunity or risk while eliminating other risks as part of a trading strategy.
