Hutchin Hill Capital employs a systematic, process-driven approach to investing in an array of highly-liquid asset classes and markets. Their investment approach includes both quantitative and fundamental strategies. Hutchin Hill Capital generally allocates capital across a broad and diverse array of strategic opportunities. The firm's Core strategies include Global Equities, Fundamental Long/Short Credit, Global Macro and, Systematic & Quantitative. They also offer a strategy that includes a custom convexity hedging program for the overall Diversified Alpha Master Fund that seeks to serve as a defense against major market dislocations, tail events and other risks not hedged within each of the four Core strategies. Hutchin Hill focuses on strategies that purchase and sell liquidly-traded instruments for which there is a generally active market (although the Diversified Alpha Master Fund may trade in illiquid instruments or markets that are not generally active).

The firm's investment teams leverage Citadel’s proprietary, market-neutral risk framework with the aim of building portfolios that minimize broad market exposures. Using this insight, they act on their investment theses and scale their risk-taking with confidence.
