Tech Exposure, Smarter Risk: New Markin Asset Management Fund Blends Innovation with Tail Risk Protection

Audio By Carbonatix

RYE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 29, 2025--

Markin Asset Management, a boutique alternative investment firm built on a “grow and protect” philosophy, today introduced the Markin Volterra Fund, LP, a tech-focused long-bias hedge fund that combines exposure to innovation-driven publicly listed companies with sophisticated tail risk hedging using index options and puts. The strategy targets mid- and large-cap companies across the broader AI ecosystem—including core AI tech, infrastructure enablers, and enterprise beneficiaries—creating a diversified portfolio for capturing high-quality earnings growth and returns from rapid technological innovation.

The fund is designed for investors seeking the earnings growth potential of transformative technology with protection against drawdowns. Unlike traditional long-only strategies that fully absorb downside risk—or market-neutral strategies that cap upside—the Markin Volterra Fund is a fully invested, long-only strategy that aims to retain equity-like returns while mitigating large left tail events through a systematic hedge overlay.

“It has never been more important to pair exposure to innovation with disciplined risk management and tail risk protection,” said David Marra, Co-Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Markin Asset Management.

The fund strategy builds on a highly successful separately managed account (SMA) program managed by the firm that has also meaningfully preserved capital in 2025. “We're investing in companies with solid top-line growth along with high absolute growth companies in large addressable markets," says Marra. The fund’s mandate is further supported by an active risk management framework designed to preserve capital and significantly reduce the risk of loss for investors.

The Markin Volterra Fund, LP offers monthly liquidity and is open to qualified clients.
