Strategy
According to Preqin, Sequoia Capital Fund Management pursued a quantitative investment approach to trade a diversified portfolio to achieve consistent, superior, risk-adjusted returns, targeting 15% volatility. The focus was on short-term systematic strategies in highly liquid markets. The strategy maintained virtually no correlation to main indices and benchmarks in both normal and stressed-market environments. Source: Preqin - Sequoia Capital Fund Management
