Derivatives and volatility strategy. Three decades across New York and Tokyo.
Global Volatility Fund is the platform of Chris Marshall — managing family capital in equity and volatility markets, and advising institutional investors on derivatives strategy, execution, and hedging implementation across index, single-name, and dispersion markets.
Generating equity and volatility trade ideas for institutional counterparties. Advising on derivatives execution, liquidity architecture, and hedging implementation. Designing overlays that address equity concentration, correlation, and income generation.
Process built on the OODA Loop — Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Technology has improved observation and execution. Orientation is what remains: connecting client flow, dealer positioning, liquidity, and structured product flows before the market does.
Chris Marshall has spent more than three decades in derivatives across New York and Tokyo. Head of Volatility Trading at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley, where he originated the MAXIS Nikkei 225 ETF; portfolio manager at Millennium Partners; proprietary index and equity options at Nomura. He has traded through the Asian financial crisis, LTCM, the dot-com unwind, the global financial crisis, the Flash Crash, Tōhoku, COVID, and the 2024 yen carry unwind.
If you're working on something in volatility, dispersion or market structure, I'd like to hear about it. Email is usually fastest.
