Markets are unpredictable. Your strategy shouldn't be. Zentra delivers market-neutral returns engineered to complement your existing portfolio, providing genuine diversification regardless of where the market heads next.
View Results →A disciplined approach to generating consistent, risk adjusted returns through systematic options strategies and institutional grade execution.
Our strategies are designed to eliminate directional market exposure. By balancing long and short positions through carefully constructed options spreads, we aim to generate returns independent of whether markets rise or fall, focusing instead on volatility dynamics and time decay.
We construct portfolios that behave like fixed income instruments through defined risk option structures. These synthetic positions offer predictable income characteristics with controlled downside, delivering bond like stability without traditional interest rate sensitivity.
Capital preservation is paramount. Every position is structured with explicit risk parameters, maximum loss thresholds and systematic hedging protocols. We prioritise protecting capital over maximising returns, ensuring drawdowns remain controlled and recoverable.
Our operations reflect institutional standards: robust governance frameworks, independent risk monitoring, transparent reporting and disciplined execution protocols. Every trade is executed with precision, documented thoroughly and reviewed continuously.
Every Zentra solution is built on the same live, market-neutral options strategy. Choose the wrapper that fits your structure: a pooled fund, a mandate in your own brokerage account or an overlay alongside a full S&P 500 holding.
Our flagship pooled vehicle, trading the Market Neutral Core Strategy with a live, independently audited track record since October 2024, published daily and net of all fees.
How the strategy works →The same strategy, traded directly in your own brokerage account under a limited trading authority. Your capital never moves and you see every trade as it happens.
Explore Zentra Edge →The S&P 500, held in full, with the market-neutral strategy running as a calibrated overlay alongside it. Full market exposure retained, one allocation, two return streams.
Explore Equity Plus →Most portfolios are more correlated than they look, and the correlation shows up exactly when it hurts. Zentra is built to sit alongside your existing allocations and behave differently from equities, bonds and traditional managed funds.
Most diversified portfolios still move in lockstep during downturns. Our market-neutral strategies are structurally uncorrelated to equity and bond markets, which is the kind of diversification that holds when you need it.
We are not a replacement for your equity portfolio or your adviser's strategy. We are a specialist allocation designed to smooth overall portfolio volatility and add a consistent alternative income stream.
When traditional markets draw down, correlated assets fall together. A delta-neutral approach is built to perform independently of market direction, offering a stabilising anchor during periods of uncertainty.

Common questions about our market-neutral strategies and investment approach.
A market neutral strategy aims to generate returns regardless of whether markets go up or down. By balancing long and short positions, we eliminate directional market exposure and instead focus on capturing returns from volatility, time decay and relative value opportunities. This approach provides genuine diversification and can deliver positive returns even during market downturns.
Inflation plus targeting means we aim to deliver returns that consistently exceed the rate of inflation. Rather than targeting a fixed nominal return, we focus on preserving and growing your purchasing power. For example, if inflation is 3%, our strategies target returns of inflation plus an additional premium (varying by strategy from 2% to 16%), ensuring your capital grows in real terms regardless of the inflationary environment.
All investments carry risk, and options based strategies are no exception. Key risks include: sudden volatility spikes that can cause short term losses, correlation breakdown during market stress and liquidity risk in extreme conditions. However, our defined risk approach means maximum losses are known in advance, and our multi layered risk management framework includes position limits, hedging protocols and continuous monitoring to manage these risks systematically.
Our strategies are available to wholesale clients and sophisticated investors as defined under applicable securities laws. This typically includes high net worth individuals, family offices and institutional investors who meet certain financial thresholds and have experience with complex investment products. We operate under Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) 700112 through Yellowfin Asset Management.
The minimum investment is AUD 100,000. We work with clients to find the most suitable structure based on your specific circumstances and objectives.
We employ multiple layers of risk management: all positions use defined risk structures with explicit maximum loss limits; portfolio level exposure limits prevent over concentration; systematic hedging protocols respond to changing market conditions; and continuous monitoring ensures adherence to risk parameters. Additionally, fund assets are held at a regulated broker and the fund is independently administered and audited, providing oversight and transparency. These are risk controls, not capital protection: there is no guarantee against loss and you may lose some or all of your capital.
All investors have access to a dedicated client portal with daily updates of their portfolio net asset value. You can log in at any time to view your current performance, positions and account activity. At the end of each financial year, you also receive a comprehensive tax assurance statement for your records. Our team is always accessible to discuss any questions about your portfolio.
