Kettera Strategies was founded on a single conviction: institutional allocators deserve direct access to the best CTA managers — without fund-of-funds overhead, without bank conflicts, and without opacity. We built Hydra — our proprietary managed account platform — to deliver exactly that. Every manager on the platform has cleared Kettera's rigorous operational and quantitative due diligence process. Every allocation carries full intraday transparency. Every structure is designed around the allocator, not the distributor.
To give institutional allocators the access, transparency, and oversight they deserve — in one managed account platform. No fund-of-funds layers. No black boxes. No conflicts of interest.
To be the definitive managed account platform for institutional managed futures access — where the best CTA managers are accessible, every allocation is fully transparent, and every allocator's interests are genuinely served.
Kettera's infrastructure partners, performance record, and manager roster reflect the institutional standard we hold ourselves to — at every level of the platform.

Kettera is not affiliated with any bank, wire house, or manager distribution network. That independence is your advantage — every recommendation we make is free from the conflicts that compromise bank-affiliated platforms.
We don't earn higher fees for recommending one manager over another. Every manager on Hydra earned access through rigorous due diligence. Our model is built around your outcomes, not our distribution revenue.
Every CTA on the Hydra platform has cleared our multi-stage due diligence process — quantitative screening, operational review, structural analysis, and ongoing risk monitoring.
Real-time, position-level transparency isn't a premium feature on Hydra — it's the foundation. Allocators deserve to know exactly what they own, exactly when they need to know it.
From Goldman Sachs prime brokerage to RSM US LLP audit, every element of Hydra's infrastructure is built to withstand the most demanding institutional due diligence processes.
