Our History >

Founded at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, DyKa Investments began as a college initiative aimed at exploring active portfolio management and market research. Initially focused on public equities, the fund quickly expanded into fixed income, structured credit, and private markets as its strategy matured. Built from the ground up by a close-knit group of investors, DyKa has grown steadily through disciplined execution, a commitment to innovation, and a focus on long-term value creation.

Our Strategies

  • Beta-Focused

    Our beta-focused strategies are designed to capture structural market returns through diversified exposure to global equities, credit, and duration, guided by macro regime awareness and disciplined portfolio construction. These strategies seek to participate in long-term growth while dynamically managing risk through sector rotation, factor allocation, and defensive positioning as conditions evolve. Rather than relying on short-term trading, the objective is to compound capital across cycles by balancing upside participation with drawdown control. Beta exposures provide a stable core that adapts to changing economic environments while supporting durable, risk-adjusted growth.

  • Alpha-Focused

    Our alpha-focused strategies seek to generate differentiated returns through active positioning across macro, credit, equities, commodities, and alternative risk premia, targeting opportunities created by market dislocations, regime shifts, and structural inefficiencies. These strategies are driven by proprietary research, transmission-based risk analysis, and dynamic allocation across carry, trend, convexity, and relative value frameworks. We emphasize diversified sources of return, disciplined risk budgeting, and uncorrelated exposures to enhance portfolio resilience. Alpha strategies complement our core beta allocations by improving drawdown protection and increasing long-term compounding potential across changing market regimes.
