Vela Capital develops proprietary quantitative options strategies designed to deliver consistent, uncorrelated returns — regardless of market direction.

Volatility Selling

We sell options to capture volatility premiums, generating steady returns regardless of market conditions. To safeguard against downside risk, we employ hedging techniques including protective options, providing a safety net even in volatile markets.

Venture Capital

Options provide a structured yet flexible risk environment where potential losses are inherently limited by the nature of the instruments. We employ hedging, speculation, and income generation strategies to adapt to varying market conditions and manage risk efficiently.
