- Astor Macro Alternative Fund Class I (GBLMX) is a multi-strategy alternative mutual fund that seeks positive returns over a market cycle regardless of market conditions or general market direction by employing quantitative strategies across global asset classes. The fund implements a systematic investment process encompassing a global asset allocation strategy driven by the proprietary Astor Economic Index, which analyzes U.S. macroeconomic data including output and employment indicators to adjust exposure to equities, fixed income, commodities, currencies, and emerging markets via exchange-traded funds; futures trading strategies utilizing value and trend-following models in global debt, currencies, and commodities futures through a wholly-owned subsidiary; and a short-term equity hedge component involving long VIX futures and short S&P 500 futures to mitigate downside risk during periods of elevated equity market volatility signaled by the Astor Financial Stress Index, consumer sentiment, and other proprietary inputs. Distributed by Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, the fund targets institutional and retail investors seeking lower correlation to traditional equity markets, with operations focused on U.S. and global markets. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and managed by Astor Investment Management LLC, a registered investment adviser founded in 2013 with approximately $1.2 billion in total assets under management as of late 2023 across separate managed accounts, unified managed accounts, and mutual funds, the fund features a cohesive investment team led by CEO and Portfolio Manager Bryan Novak, CIO John Eckstein, and Vice President Nick Porter. In June 2025, Astor Investment Management entered into a definitive agreement for strategic acquisition by Beacon Capital Management, Inc., a provider of risk-managed investment portfolios, with the transaction expected to close in August 2025 and integrate approximately $1 billion in assets including GBLMX into Beacon's platform while maintaining continuity in management and enhancing advisor resources through complementary macroeconomic and data-driven strategies.
