Incline Investment Management, LLC (“Incline”), an alternative asset manager focused on systematic investment strategies, today announced that its flagship Systematic Hybrid™ strategy has been recognized as Best Performing Strategy over 5 Years in the Trend Following – Futures and Single Stocks category at The Hedge Fund Journal CTA and Discretionary Trader Awards 2026.

“When we built the Systematic Hybrid™, we didn’t want to be like everyone else. We built the portfolio differently, and that has been a key part of our performance over the years,” said Ted Parkhill, Chief Executive Officer and Founding Partner of Incline Investment Management. “We know we’re competing against some really big firms and well-known names in this space, so being recognized for our five-year performance is extremely encouraging as we see the strategy perform as intended by delivering non-correlated returns with exceptional relative performance.”

The annual awards recognize top-performing funds and strategies across systematic and discretionary investment strategies based on risk-adjusted performance. The Hedge Fund Journal identifies the best performers using performance data and risk-adjusted return calculations, with NilssonHedge and Preqin serving as data partners for the awards.

Incline’s partners have managed the Systematic Hybrid™ since 2012. The flagship trend-following program trades across 75 global markets, including commodities, currencies, metals, energy, equities and fixed income. The strategy is fully systematic and directionally agnostic, which means the strategy can benefit from rising or falling global markets, with risk management at the core of Incline’s investment process.

The 2026 CTA and Discretionary Trader Awards recognize funds across categories including systematic macro, global macro, multi-strategy, trend following, commodities and alternative risk premia. The Systematic Hybrid™ was the winner of the five-year performance award in the Trend Following – Futures and Single Stocks category.
