Anacapa Advisors' Quantum Fund Marks Five Years in the Market

Quantum is a long-biased, scalable hedge fund launched in 2020 designed to outperform the Nasdaq 100

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anacapa Advisors, a market directional investment firm with two core funds, celebrates five full years of its Quantum fund: a long equity focused, extremely liquid, and adaptable hedge fund built to outperform the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) across a diverse range of market conditions. Quantum was the second fund launched by Anacapa Advisors, following the Alpha fund, which was launched in 2018.

Quantum employs a three-part strategy to boost its scalability: replicating the Nasdaq 100 Index, utilizing a proprietary options overlay, and hedging to manage risk. Created in January 2020, Quantum now celebrates five years of live track record, ranking second in five-year performance among all US equity hedge funds (1,641 funds) as determined by Nasdaq eVestment in January 2025. Quantum also boasts an inception-to-date annualized return of 26.6%, outperforming the Nasdaq-100's 18.6% annualized return by 8% per annum, net of fees.

Anacapa Advisors concluded last year with strong performances as well; in 2024, Anacapa Quantum posted a +22.17% return for the year, and its other fund, Anacapa Alpha achieved a +19.85% return.

The firm was founded by investment industry veteran Phil Pecsok in 2018 and was partially designed in response to a famous bet offered by Warren Buffet: that no active manager could beat the markets over a ten-year period. Each has consistently generated outsized returns since inception and are both listed in the top 1% among all equity funds reporting on Bloomberg.

"Reaching the five-year mark is a huge milestone for Quantum, and I could not be more proud of the growth we've achieved, as well as the team that made it possible," said Phil Pecsok, founder and CIO of Anacapa. "Its success is a testament to the vision of the firm, and we look to build on this momentum in the years ahead."

Anacapa's management fee is one-quarter of the typical industry rate, and instead of charging one-fifth of total returns (as is common among many funds), the firm charges only a portion of profit generated above and beyond the NDX. This incentivizes performance in a way that previous fee structures do not. Since 2018, the firm has steadily expanded its team and assets under management and is poised for continued growth in the years ahead. For more information, visit www.anacapaadvisors.com.
