MIKA SYSTEMATIC STRATEGY · DMSE

Delta Managed Synthetic Equity

Capital efficient equity participation through dynamically managed derivative structures

DMSE is a rules-based strategy deployment framework for users who choose concentrated single-name exposure. It constructs and monitors defined derivative packages, measures the combined directional exposure, and produces deployment or adjustment actions within explicit account permissions and execution controls.

WHAT DMSE IS DESIGNED TO DO

Participate, regulate exposure and compound.

01

Capital-efficient participation

Participate in high-conviction equity upside without committing the full cash purchase price of equivalent shares. 1x, 2x, and 3x exposures will be available to users.

02

Portfolio-level exposure

Manage total directional exposure at portfolio level rather than maximizing for premiums or distributions.

03

Compounding over distributions

Retain gains for compounding - the strategy does not target a fixed yield or distribution.

FROM CONVICTION TO CONTROL

A familiar investing problem, approached differently.

An investor can have strong conviction in a company and still hesitate to commit the full cash purchase price of the shares. Traditional option overlays can solve for capital, but often become a collection of disconnected trades. DMSE combines quantitative measurement with a systematic review process to preserve the equity participation the user wants while managing the total exposure as one position.

BEGIN

Conviction creates a capital trade-off.

Buying shares is familiar and direct, but it commits the full purchase price to a single idea. DMSE is intended for users who have already chosen the company and want a more capital-efficient way to express that conviction.

BUILD

The user chooses the destination.

The user selects the desired 1x, 2x or 3x exposure. DMSE then algorithmically calculates a defined derivative structure intended to deliver meaningful participation with less initial cash than purchasing the equivalent shares.

MANAGE

One position matters more than any single option.

DMSE looks through the individual contracts to measure the combined directional exposure. Premium collection is not the objective; the focus is whether the total position still reflects the exposure the user selected.

REVIEW

Rules bring discipline when markets move.

At scheduled review checkpoints and after confirmed fills, the system evaluates exposure, liquidity, account capacity, event risk and adverse scenarios. An adjustment is proposed only when predefined conditions call for one.

COMPOUND

The long view is participation, not a payout.

DMSE is designed to retain gains for continued compounding rather than turn option premium into a target yield. The strategy seeks a repeatable path for participating in selected equity upside over time.

DMSE is a rules-based deployment tool, not individualized portfolio management. Users decide whether to enable the strategy and select the exposure level. Options involve significant and potentially nonlinear loss; capital efficiency changes how exposure is financed and margined but does not eliminate economic risk. Proposed actions are not complete until execution is confirmed. Modeled and current results do not guarantee future performance or improved risk-adjusted returns.
