Alpha Discovery Fund
Capturing Alpha Through Multi-Strategy Precision
What We Do —
At Trison Global, we don’t follow markets, we build positions in them. As a premier alternative asset investment firm, we uncover alpha across asset classes and cycles. Our strategies are designed to capture long-term growth, absolute returns, and downside protection in today’s most dynamic markets.
Liquidity Designed for Today’s Market
Most fund require 5–10 year lockups with limited redemption pathways, creating liquidity friction for investors. Our Strategy is built differently. We offer quarterly redemption opportunities following underlying manager lockups, supported by transparent liquidity management, disciplined exposure limits, and active portfolio monitoring to ensure redemption coverage. Our strategy give investors access to undercapitalized emerging alpha without sacrificing flexibility.
Intelligence, Not Just Allocation
We don’t chase crowded trades or scale-driven strategies.
We back managers with differentiated edge: systematic, macro, statistical arbitrage, and niche approaches proven in live markets. Every allocation is grounded in rigorous research, real performance validation, and structural alignment.
Institutional Standards. Entrepreneurial Speed. Emerging Manager Opportunity.
Alpha Discovery Fund I combines institutional-grade diligence with early-stage access, capturing both performance alpha and revenue participation through seeding and GP stakes. We lean into innovation and market dislocation while prioritizing risk management, capital preservation, and liquidity.
Aligned Capital, Accelerated Growth
We partner with exceptional managers and provide the operational foundation to scale, while investors participate in the upside through structural economics traditionally reserved for large institutions.
We invest early, support growth, and unlock alpha where others can’t.
A Differentiated Path to Alpha
At Trison Global, we take a distinctly modern approach to alternative investing, one that recognizes where the most compelling alpha is being generated today. Instead of relying solely on large internal research teams, we seek out elite emerging hedge fund managers and traders who have already demonstrated real-world performance and a clear, explainable edge.
Sourcing Proven Skill in the Wild
Many traditional firms attempt to engineer alpha from the top-down. Our belief is simpler:
The world’s strongest strategies are already being created, just not always inside the largest institutions.
We focus on discovering and partnering with independent managers whose track records show:
Skill, not luck
Repeatability across market regimes
Unique, structurally durable return drivers
These managers operate free from institutional constraints like bureaucratic research approval processes, entrenched models, and internal politics — enabling strategies that remain adaptive and unconstrained.

Adaptive, Anti-Fragile, and Built for Modern Markets
Because we are not locked into a fixed team or style, we are able to:
Continuously refine the portfolio in real time
Remove strategies when edge decays
Allocate more to those proving durable outperformance
Avoid the groupthink that holds many legacy firms back
Our philosophy is simple:
Alpha isn’t created in theory, it is discovered in practice.
The Alpha Discovery Fund brings together this philosophy in one vehicle:
a curated, risk-managed portfolio of high-conviction, skill-based emerging managers built to evolve with the markets.

Aligned Economics & Modern Fund Structure
We believe liquidity is a differentiator in today’s market. With quarterly redemption opportunities after underlying lockups and strict exposure limits, our structure delivers flexibility without compromising performance. Investors participate directly in GP economics, unlocking upside beyond strategy returns.
-
Institutional DNA & Emerging Manager Access
Our team has deep experience across hedge fund evaluation, trading, and operational due diligence, enabling us to identify standout talent before they scale. We combine global allocator discipline with the agility to pursue niche, capacity-constrained opportunities where true alpha still exists.
-
Research-Driven, Thesis-Backed Investing
We leverage a rigorous analytical framework to validate strategy performance, risk controls, operational integrity, and manager alignment. Every deployment is backed by data and designed to compound value through both returns and negotiated participation in long-term revenue streams.
-
Operational Support & Strategic Partnership
Beyond capital, we provide emerging managers with the infrastructure needed to institutionalize: legal setup, prime brokerage, compliance, marketing, and investor relations. Our role as an early strategic partner not only supports manager growth but enhances oversight and governance for our investors.
Our Strategies —
-
TGADF I allocates capital to small but proven hedge funds managing less than $50M in AUM with two or more years of audited or proprietary track record. These managers are typically operating in niche and capacity-constrained corners of the market where larger funds cannot participate, resulting in persistent inefficiencies and excess alpha opportunities. By investing before institutional capital floods the strategy, the fund gains exposure to higher return potential while maintaining disciplined oversight through institutional-grade due diligence, operational infrastructure validation, and ongoing performance monitoring.
-
Beyond traditional LP exposure, TGADF I establishes strategic seeding and GP staking partnerships with new launches and spin-outs led by experienced investment talent. We directly support a manager’s operational setup, including legal formation, prime brokerage relationships, marketing, compliance, and other mission-critical functions, in exchange for a negotiated percentage of long-term revenue and performance fees. These GP economics provide structural upside separate from market-dependent returns, allowing investors to share in the growth of a manager’s business as they scale from a sub-$50M fund to an institutional franchise. This pillar also positions TGADF I as a foundational partner, creating strategic influence, early access, and co-investment opportunities typically reserved for the largest allocators.
-
To complement manager-driven alpha streams, TGADF I maintains a strategic 5% Bitcoin allocation held in institutional-grade custody and governed by a formalized risk management framework. Bitcoin’s low correlation to traditional hedge fund strategies provides an additional source of diversification and portfolio resilience. In periods of market stress or liquidity dislocation, digital assets have historically demonstrated asymmetric upside potential and beneficial convexity characteristics. This small but intentional allocation functions as a tail-risk hedge with meaningful optionality, without altering the fund’s core focus on alternative investment performance.
“At Trison Global, we are committed to unlocking transformative value by leveraging deep industry expertise, innovative strategies, and a global perspective. Our approach is built on collaboration, precision, and a relentless pursuit of long-term growth for our investors across every asset class”
Manager Due Diligence
At Trison Global, our combined experience as portfolio builders and strategic seeders sharpens our ability to distinguish repeatable skill from randomness. Our diligence framework is designed to identify managers with not only strong quantitative performance — but a clear, defensible understanding of why their edge exists and why it will persist.
Quantitative Evaluation
We leverage our quantitative expertise and proprietary analytics to evaluate and assemble a portfolio of uncorrelated, high-conviction trading strategies.
-

Has the strategy proven itself through multiple market cycles and environments?
-
Does the payoff structure offer asymmetric upside versus downside exposure?
Qualitative Evaluation
Beyond numbers, we assess the mindset, discipline, and operational readiness required for performance longevity.
-
Can the manager clearly articulate the inefficiency being exploited, and why it should persist?
-
Are the infrastructure, controls, and processes in place to extract alpha reliably at scale?
-
Does the manager have the passion and depth of expertise to adapt and evolve?
-
How do they respond when the market presents the unexpected?
-
Will they maintain discipline through inevitable drawdowns?
-
Can they avoid style drift and ego-driven risk as AUM expands?
The Result

The hedge fund landscape is at an inflection point:
Large funds underperforming: Institutional mega-funds face capacity constraints, fee pressure, and declining alpha, leaving smaller, nimble managers with attractive performance opportunities.
Emerging manager demand rising: Institutional programs increasingly seek emerging managers with proven track records, particularly in systematic, quant, and niche strategies.
Innovative hedge fund launches accelerating: Prop desk spin-outs, boutique quant teams, and global macro specialists are raising less than $50M, creating undercapitalized white space and alpha opportunities.
Digital asset diversification: Bitcoin and other digital assets are becoming recognized for low correlation with traditional strategies, enhancing portfolio tail-risk protection.
This convergence of market inefficiencies, investor demand for alpha, and undercapitalized managers creates a unique entry point for a fund that can combine LP investments, GP seeding, and digital asset diversification.

A True Source of Uncorrelated Alpha
Bitcoin historically maintains low to near-zero correlation with major asset classes, including hedge fund benchmarks, providing a distinct return engine independent from traditional macro, equity, credit, and alternatives exposures.
Hard-Capped, Verifiably Scarce Asset
With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, enforced by code and decentralized consensus, bitcoin offers structural scarcity unmatched by fiat currencies or commodities, a unique inflation hedge in an era of monetary debasement.
Asymmetric Upside with Limited Allocation
Even small allocations (1–3%) have shown significant enhancements to risk-adjusted returns in diversified portfolios, improving Sharpe / Sortino ratios and reducing reliance on high-beta hedge fund strategies.
Declining Volatility & Growing Institutional Adoption
As liquidity and participation broaden across institutions, sovereigns, and ETFs, volatility continues to normalize, and bitcoin increasingly behaves like a non-sovereign store of value (digital gold).
Ideal Complement to Alts & Absolute-Return Mandates
Bitcoin thrives in market dislocations driven by liquidity cycles, technology adoption, and macro instability, adding convexity that traditional hedge funds struggle to capture consistently.
“Get Off Zero” Priority
The largest marginal improvement in portfolio construction comes from simply introducing the asset, remaining at zero exposure is now an active underweight relative to global institutional positioning.
-
The fund’s capital is allocated across three complementary pillars:
75% LP Investments: Allocations to proven hedge funds with <$50M AUM.
20% GP Seeding/Staking: Strategic support for emerging managers, including operational setup and negotiated revenue participation.
5% Bitcoin Treasury: Diversification and tail-risk protection under prudent governance.
This framework balances upside potential, structural economics, and portfolio resilience.
