Our History >

Founded at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, DyKa Investments began as a college initiative aimed at exploring active portfolio management and market research. Initially focused on public equities, the fund quickly expanded into fixed income, structured credit, and private markets as its strategy matured. Built from the ground up by a close-knit group of investors, DyKa has grown steadily through disciplined execution, a commitment to innovation, and a focus on long-term value creation.

Our Strategies

  • Beta-Focused

    Our beta-focused strategies are built to participate in broad market trends by allocating across traditional asset classes such as equities and fixed income. These strategies aim to deliver market-aligned returns through disciplined asset allocation, informed sector exposure, and sensitivity to macroeconomic cycles. Rather than seeking outperformance through short-term trading, the objective is to provide consistent participation in long-term growth while managing drawdowns through thoughtful portfolio construction. Beta exposures serve as a reliable foundation for compounding capital across varying economic environments.

  • Alpha-Focused

    Our alpha-focused strategies are designed to generate excess return independent of market direction by exploiting inefficiencies, dislocations, and asymmetries across asset classes. These strategies are driven by proprietary research, thematic insights, and dynamic positioning across macro, credit, equity, and alternatives. We emphasize active risk-taking, uncorrelated exposures, and disciplined execution to deliver differentiated performance. Alpha strategies complement our core beta exposures, enhancing return potential and improving overall portfolio resilience across diverse market regimes.
