Institutional experience across investment, operations, and technology
Jonathan Haas
Founder, CIO
Jonathan brings 15+ years of institutional investment experience to volatility markets. Prior roles at Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, and RBC focused on real estate credit and structured transactions. He treats every option contract like a balance sheet commitment—deploying capital only when the premium yield justifies the risk, applying the same discipline used to underwrite distressed assets in private equity. His entire liquid net worth is invested in the strategy.
