Arthur Smelyansky is a systematic portfolio manager and founder of Maccabi Capital Management, a hedge fund focused on disciplined, rules-based investing. His flagship strategy, Maccabi Alpha Fund, LP, leverages a five-part multi-strategy framework that thrives across varying market environments. The fund blends trend-following, mean reversion, hedging, alternative exposures, and defensive positioning to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns without relying on market forecasts.

Arthur's approach is rooted in one central belief: the market doesn’t owe us clarity, so rather than trying to predict the next move, he waits for confirmation, giving up the first part of a move to gain confidence and asymmetry on the rest. This risk-first mindset is not just theoretical. In 2022, Arthur placed Top 10 in the U.S. Investing Championship, returning +39.6% while the S&P 500 fell 18%, a real-money demonstration of his strategy’s resilience​
